Pros

It's a privately-owned company that invests a vast amount of money in its technology. Great training programming for entry-level software developers. Great company culture. Benefits are amazing once you've been here for a while.

Cons

It's such a large company, you may not find a good fit with your first team and/or manager. The company actively encourages moving to other teams, so it's not hard to find a great team eventually. Majority of the tech teams are not agile, but use their own version of agile which is pretty much waterfall.

Bureaucracy (meetings, takes forever to get access or things done in general, middle mgmt gossip, etc), lack of respect for tech employees (you're an unfortunate cost not the ones driving profit), below market compensation, outdated technologies/stacks, not at all meaningful work
