Pros

Challenging problems to solve, surrounded by LOTS of smart people.

Cons

Codebases are sometimes very old, with lots of legacy code to maintain. Our team had to take care of 13 million lines of code (much of it legacy code) with 11 developers. It was a very painful codebase to work with.

Advice to Management

Gradually update the codebase without breaking support for legacy systems.
