Pros

Large corporate power backing you against the market forces (competitors and suppliers). Lot of traveling and opportunities to learn from practices of other colleagues. Work ethics and culture in many countries on very high level.

Cons

Too many management layers and positions which often contrast in objectives and targets. Sales-driven management causes stress among employees. Often bureacracy gets in the way
