Pros

Good benefits and people to work with.

Cons

Very competitive. If you are on a team that doesn't have a well-defined role, then you are at the mercy of management whims.

Priority is more on shipping versus quality.

If things don't pan out on a high-profile project, you are held responsible.

Expect long hours on pet projects.
