Pros

The work is quite good. You get to work on the best tools, and you learn a lot. High value of experience is gained here. The experience gained here is quite useful. Everybody is quite skilled.

Cons

Well, it depends on your team and team members. Some teams (most I know of) have very hectic work, stretching very long hours. Work-life balance generally suffers. Team members may be indifferent workaholics. Stressful atmosphere. You have to learn and figure out most of the stuff yourself, as most of the people are already too stressed to cooperate. It's expected of you to know everything in advance.

Advice to Management

Reduce the disparity between different teams.

Instill some life in the team and reduce stress.

Have some more training sessions.
