Pros

Many opportunities to change specialties. Most people are open to answering questions and assisting as needed.

Large company with the belief that it will be around and profitable for a very long time to come.

Cons

Market changes can lead to layoffs that are wide and deep. Being a worldwide company and rules and regulations of other countries typically mean the majority of layoffs occur in the states.

Middle management do not always have the best management skills and do not necessarily follow the ideals of senior management.

Being such a big company, sometimes salary and compensation decisions get bogged down with red tape or too many people needing signoff who have no knowledge of value.
