Pros

The technology is really cool and unique, and the business is in an extremely strong position.

There are a lot of smart people, so you learn a lot very quickly.

There is a lot to do, and hard work is rewarded to some degree.

Most of the people are good to work with as well.

Cons

The system is complicated, and there are a lot of details to learn. Politics can be rough at times. There is a lot of proprietary software, and a lot of it is not well documented and/or supported.
