A great learning experience

Pros: It is a good company to start your career, as it would get you into the performance-driven, get-stuff-done attitude fast.
Cons: Things are run at a different pace, which changes wildly from team to team. There is a lot of opportunity to be a self-starter and figure out your place in the organization. You have to make yourself useful and not wait for others to make you useful.
