Pros

1) It looks good on your resume. 2) Good benefits that come with a large company. 3) In my experience in my division, there is good work-life balance.

Cons

1) Lack of communication from upper management. Often non-management are notified at the very last moment about organizational changes and decisions. 2) Bureaucracy. 3) Very slow to implement changes. 4) Hard to obtain money for the department, for employee salaries, for training, etc. The budget is too much of a hard boundary.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
