Great life work balance, not much room for growth - you're 1 of 120,000+ employees
Pros: Work/life balance is great - as a consultant I am OT eligible
Job is flexible - I can work from home
Health/medical/401k benefits are great
Cons: I came from an acquisition - a smaller 400ish employee size company. I went from feeling connected to the whole company, to suddenly VERY disconnected. 
Too many processes to get something done - example, to change my address in the system I emailed HR, they had me do it online, when it didn't take I reached out again, they told me to rinse repeat...all in all way too much time wasted for such a simple task. 
Company reviews have ZERO correlation to merit increases. Yet, it was a 3 month process. 
I've been employed with the original organization for ~2 years and have not gotten any salary increases. When Oracle acquired us my salary stayed the same, but my bonus plan decreased by 5%.
In short, as an organization, it's clear that they don't care much about the employee, just what's best for the business.
Not much room for growth and/or career paths/development. You'd think at a large company you'd have a lot of options.
