Pros

multiple opportunities for advancement. good ethical business practices. good pay and vacation/time off policies. good benefits package.

It's a global publicly held company, so expect corporate politics and regard for the shareholder. If you want to advance in the company, expect to be asked to do the job of 2-3 people for the salary of one.
