Pros

Good salary and benefits. Good experience.

Cons

You have to work day and night to get promoted. It all depends on luck; if you get lucky and end up under a good manager, your life will be wonderful. Even with a good manager, you have to keep improving, keep pushing, and work very hard to stay in the company.

If for any reason you end up with bad reviews, you are screwed. It's very hard to move to another team. People sometimes go through bad times and end up not performing well, right? That will be forgotten in this company.
