Pros

Very bright people, customer-focused, and some interesting projects.

Cons

Low morale.

Constant threat of layoffs.

Little upward mobility, unless you are identified by one of the 'gifted and talented' programs.

All the effects you'd expect when shareholder value trumps employee development.
