Pros

Flexibility with time off, working from home, good benefits.

Cons

Too many decision makers make projects take forever to complete. Younger colleagues who really don't have the experience are being promoted rapidly as a retention strategy. Lots of politics to deal with, especially if you want any chance of being promoted.

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
