Pros

Diverse, international coworkers. Interesting technical work - many opportunities to learn. Collaborative work environment. Vacation benefit is very good by US standards.

Cons

Layoffs are brutal during industry downturns. Technical ability is not insurance against layoffs. If you are not internationally mobile, your chances of promotion past first level team leader are remote. Typical big-company bureaucracy.
