Pros

Good pay (as long as you have a job) You may learn something new, if you are lucky

Cons

Overworked, lack of transparency, soooooo bureaucratic (what can be done in a week) is done in months of endless meetings with fancy names and tones of confusing acronyms. So many layers of redundant management and made-up positions. Expect at lesat 1 to 2 re-orgs every year; pray to not lose your job

Pros

The graduate program first rotation was really exciting. It was fun to work for a big company.

Cons

The managers didn't have a lot of insight to the program so you kind of have to figure it out yourself.
