Pros

Great benefits Looks good on a resume

Cons

VERY low glass ceiling for people of color Very few opportunities for movement within the organization if you truly don't have anyone advocating for you behind the scenes (favoritism) Secretive about salary and pay bands Someone else said it best: they're a big corp cos-playing as a non-profit...and I agree.
