Pros

Great People. Lots of interesting projects and teams to join. I never had to deal with politics (although I'm sure my managers did).

Cons

On-call support and development environments that take an eternity to setup. Sometimes it seemed like I could never get anything done between configuring a new service or dealing with on-call support.
