Pros

- good engineering challenges, decent impact opportunities - good managers - good mission - lots of room to grow and move - quality, friendly people - good comp - great offices, support, and environment

Cons

- ever increasing bureaucracy, process, and other tedious stuff. probably par for the course with any bigorg - diluted focus and vision in some engineering areas. can be frustrating finding and doing impactful work. - strong drive "forward" means some legacy headaches are tolerated for too long - unrefined inter-department processes can cause headaches with security, infra, devenv situations
