Pros

Nice peers, good office space.

Cons

It is hard to progress in your career, as performance here is a zero-sum game. So, for you to perform well, you necessarily need your peers to perform badly. And your performance is tied to how much extra money you had, so if they reduce the rewards budget company-wide, everyone will start performing worse.
