Pros

Limitless resources, lots of equipment, software, whatever you need. I worked with a bunch of great people, but the company is absolutely massive, so your mileage may vary.

Cons

Very corporate. Lots of higher-level management view your team or project as a number on a spreadsheet and will happily cross it out and kill a great team and a profitable product without batting an eye.

Advice to Management

It's super complex to run an organization like this smoothly and profitably, but sometimes, maybe the small guys are worth saving.

Maybe it would make sense to have a little loyalty to a small, inexpensive, and profitable, well-loved product and keep it going?
