Pros

Prestige of the brand, that's about it.

Cons

Sink or swim environment, you cannot ask questions to peers within your team as they will report that to your manager. When you join a new team no one will show you even once how to do the specific tasks required, and if you can't figure it out by yourself you'll be cut within a year. Good performers also getting cut just to keep teams lean.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
