Pros

Lots of very interesting and talented people, amazing devices. It's possible to see a direct impact on the lives of people who need those devices.

Cons

As is the case with every corporation, your experience depends on your manager. In "the old days," a fair amount of effort was put into performance evaluations, and part of that assessment was a "360 degree evaluation." People all around you were asked to briefly describe their experience with you. That type of evaluation has disappeared, and trying to get the word out about a bad manager is a lengthy and largely ineffective process.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
