Pros

Nothing I can think of at the moment

Cons

Unless you are a Director, you don't get any bonus, stock options, Overtime, but they work you to death, although there is no incentive for working to death. People are always shouting and speaking poorly of others. Use of profanity among leaders is very common. The cafeterias sell overpriced food. Worst place I have ever worked in my life. Unless you are a director, you do not get a company phone but managers expect you to answer your personal phone at all the times, even if that means paying for minutes and data out of your own pocket. These are the reasons Finance departments have very high turnovers. Morale is really low and managers give out the vibe that they do NOT care and if you don't like the way things are, you may leave. There is no recognition, no appreciation. The Finance systems they use are old school. Practically every week, they are coming up with new logics for their Finance planning tools. No technological help when system breaks, and you have to chat with someone in India or in Singapore to get things fixed (which most of the time they do not know how to fix), which in turn, makes you work overtime with no pay. They hire from outside mostly and takes forever to hire people. Not the most talented pool of senior leaders I have worked with. Unlimited PTO is a joke, because you are not allowed to take time off. Your Manager will get upset if you ask for time off and remember they don't pay you extra for not taking time off. Cheapest company I have ever worked for.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
