Pros

Work/life balance (half day Fridays, working from home, vacation time), smart and talented people, opportunity to travel, opportunity to learn about different parts of the business.

Cons

Organization too large and it is impossible to know everyone in your own department, politics, strict adherence to the corporate heirarchy, not much visibility of the leadership teams, major decisions made at the top that are not thought through that colleagues are accountable for, every project is complex due to the complexity of the organization, rolling layoffs.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
