Pros

A lot of scope to move your career laterally. Large company ,so potential to be exposed to large projects and work with smart people.

Cons

Strong management focus on compliance and process over outcomes. In my area, little reward for success and no encouragement to move up in the organisation.

Pros

Career advancement. It's a reputable company and the benefits like 410K matching is more compared to some other employers. There is good work place diversity.

Cons

There are not many young people working there. Even if you are dedicated hard worker, sometimes due to budget restrictions, promotion is hard to come along.
