Pros

Very professional environment. Flexible hours and very flexible on the type of work people do. It is very easy to move from one project to another and learn new things. They encourage and give time to study and learn.

Cons

Full of processes. Processes are getting in the way.

Also full of managers, which I presume is the reason for the focus on processes. Managers like processes; most of them are extremely focused on all the stuff that the developers have to keep up to date about what they do, instead of focusing on what is done and how it is done.

They also like meetings. OMG, the meetings! Sometimes it is impossible to get anything done because of the meetings. Sometimes all that comes out of the meeting is the time and place of the next meeting.
