Pros

It will either make you or break you. If you succeed you will be headhunted. My Marketing Director is offered a new job about once a week. Because of the long term benefits of the profit-sharing scheme he stays.

Cons

It will either make you or break you.... The competitiveness does not really matter as much as the networking. I personally was not the best , but succeeded to the top of the rankings simply as I got on best with my managers. This is pretty much what I have heard throughout the rankings. Your home-life can suffer, and whilst they offer flexi-time and sabbaticals, anyone who actually takes those can kiss their advancement goodbye.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
