Pros

Industry leader - innovative products - fun colleagues. This industry has less turnover than most - many people with deep experience. Diverse work-force, truly a global company.

Cons

Less focus on career development than other companies I have seen. Compensation system felt less merit based than optimal. Too political at times.
