Pros

- You get to solve very very large scale problems - On-boarding is detailed and thorough - You have to set your own goals and maintain a reasonable rate of progress - Great work-life balance

Cons

- The sheer amount of information and knowledge about the organization, and different mechanisms in place can be over whelming to catch-up to. - You will feel like you are playing catch-up for a long time - You have to set your own goals and maintain a reasonable rate of progress - You may be hired for a specific skill set, but that does not preclude having some generalist skills. For eg. you could be hired as an iOS developer but some of your job function may involve working with systems have may use something completely different like sql
