Pros

Big company, lots of job security, lots of other people around that you can talk to and learn from.

Cons

Such a high turnover problem. It's hard to find graduates that stay over the two year mark, and as a result, you're constantly having knowledge transfer sessions. This means that rather than going forward at full pace, you're constantly hindered by having to get someone else up to speed, making all the mistakes that were already ironed out by the last person who tried something.
