Pros

Big company with a lot of resources if they chose to invest in people and products which is not always the case

Cons

A revolving door. people don't last look and constant reorgs and culling of people. Employees are constantly distracted by the reorgs and culling of good people that motivation becomes low. Executive management doesn't care about employees... a good example is when they cut everyone's bonus after exceeding budget and at a time when they had the highest earnings per share in industry, and the CEO gave himself a special $18million bonus and 50% pay raise a few weeks later.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
