Pros

The company wants to grow market share by acquiring other established businesses and technologies. That diversity helps the company withstand economic downturns. The company has a good system for personal growth and carreer growth. You are encouraged (but not required) to move to new positions every several years so that you can learn more about the business.

Cons

The company is very "political" and there is a strong emphasis on being "politically correct". That doesn't mean being liberal or conservative in your political views. It means the way you talk, the way you act, etc.
