Pros

Interesting technical work which can be professionally rewarding. Great non domestic opportunities (likely limited future opportunities for US based employees-would recommend a service based career for younger generation that can not be outsourced).

Cons

No transparency regarding salary levels (salary ranges vs. levels not published or available). Allows company to discriminate; this will likely become an issue w/ younger generation b/c they do share salaries w/ each other! To get ahead don't need to be accountable, prove work has significant impact, or handle significant workload; just be good with the corporate "buzz words". To climb just keep changing jobs every 2 yrs (your mistakes or lack of action will not be apparent- in GE talk, keep pivoting).
