Strong brand didn't make up for lack of balance and career opportunities
Pros: Family friendly for time off maternity leave length and sabbaticals are great benefits. 
Global brand - it was impressive to work for a brand with the strength of McDonald's.
Cons: Old Boy's Club
I was working all. the. time and it still wasn't enough.
While time off was generous for my family, I had young children at the time and I asked for flexibility (e.g., work from home and part time which many upper management woman execs mentioned was integral to their career at McD) - I was not given it and ultimately the reason I left. 
Hard to adapt to change quickly or efficiently
Location (at the time in Oakbrook)
In my specific department, promotion was near impossible.
