Pros

Generally a supportive corporate culture among associates.

Many great benefits.

Overall compensation very good.

Rarely a dull moment with opportunities to work in various groups/roles.

Cons

It's easy to get lost in a 100k+ employee environment. Some management teams are overly abrasive, likely due to a highly competitive and demanding environment. Be ready for regular reorganizations, a cube-only environment (even for the execs), and a relentless pursuit to accomplish impossibilities.

Advice to Management

Mandate yearly career development plan reviews from all employees, especially in line with industry trends or job descriptions. It is very easy to get lost in a large organization; there is a need for better accountability and enablement.
