Pros: Fellow employees are some of the smartest people in any industry, and are generally terrific to work with. 
Flexible working options in many roles, ability to work from home part time or from remote locations. Internal IT is excellent (devices for employees) .
Ample opportunity to learn, grow your skills, mentoring from senior executives, and the ability and support to extend formal education (complete Master's degree,PhD, etc. 
Ample opportunity to explore new career opportunities in a global marketplace.
Ongoing training and education on product lines for all employees, focused programs on employee engagement lead by senior leadership team. 
A very active, dynamic, ever changing business environment where bold ideas and new ways of working are encouraged and supported. 
Travel is common and my experience has been very good. Top airlines, great hotels (required amenities, clean, and secure accommodations.
Cons: Demanding hours, travel requirements, and constant change. The business requires all employees to constantly upgrade their skills, which is a pro, but can be a con when trying to meet mandatory education deadlines while performing daily duties. Competition for roles internally is fierce, but again that can be a pro (opportunity to stay current on resume and interviewing skills) depending on your point of view.
