Pros

Great brand, exposure to different industries and functions, excellent health insurance and the overall compensation package, lifetime "alumni" networking, talented and driven coworkers, great formal training program throughout your tenure

Cons

Unnecessary, excessive stress from being constantly evaluated and reprimanded; reviews skew heavily towards areas for development while strengths and good results are taken for granted; mistakes are not tolerated and therefore it's safer to be conservative rather than creative; unsustainable work hours; unrealistic deadlines; the staffing process is political and network-driven; a lot rides on the success of the first project and whether you luck into a manager that you get along with
