Pros

Lot of ancillary benefits - good life/health insurance, job security, friendly environment, flexible timings, work from home, work-life balance.

Join for the money or whatever, stay for the benefits. Good for settling down or retiring.

Cons

Limited growth opportunities.

Compensation/promotion wise, no matter what your performance is, you need to quietly wait for your turn. This can be frustrating for people who are ambitious or who want a fair deal for their output.

It's kind of like a government company culture where loyalty/seniority matters more.
