Pros
Big company with good benefits. Very structured. Some educational opportunities. Good vacation time (when allowed to take it)
Cons
Evaluations are too subjective and are up to the mood of the reviewing manager. Management likes to manage by terror i.e. they constantly browbeat you so that you are not of the "bottom 10%" that they fire each year. You can be in that 10% just by virtue of how your manager feels on review day. Promotions are difficult to get. Work in a bad neighborhood and you are locked in by a high fence.
