Pros

Transparent pay, benefits and role structure Possibility to switch roles within the company if suitable positions open Lots to learn for someone early in their career, especially for those who are active

Cons

Depending on the team, management could either be good or terrible Basic corporation issues: Slowness, lots of strict internal processes sometimes hindering growth, employees are sometimes just a number and not as valued (a senior employee from another team literally told me she does not speak with employees with my "low level" title and refused to help)
