Pros

Great benefits (salary, bonus, stocks, discounts on bookings...), great training portfolio.

Some great people in there, with respect to technical skills and social skills as well.

Cons

Slow to move to current technologies; lots of horrible Perl code.

Almost no tests (testing in production via experiments and monitoring).

Hacker culture: "just make it work," with little emphasis on maintainability and clean code.
