Pros
  • Pay
  • Work-life balance
  • Opportunity to work on things that regular people know and use
Cons

A huge organization means being a small cog in the machine and not having much impact.

There are corporate annoyances such as bi-yearly self-evaluations.

Being a huge and often international organization means you'll frequently interact with people you're unfamiliar with, making it difficult to make connections.
