Pros

It is geek heaven. You work with people who are as passionate as yourself about software development. The benefits are top of the line. If you perform well, you are rewarded well.

Cons

The review process is draining, and if your manager doesn't fight for you, you might not earn the recognition you deserve.

Advice to Management

Be sure your direct reports understand what constitutes success, and then fight for them.
