Pros

Work/life balance is encouraged, Movement vertically and laterally within the company is expected and encouraged. The benefits are great, I was able to take time off as a new father for paid "child bonding leave" and help out at home while my girlfriend recovered and she didn't have to jump back into being a full time mom immediately after giving birth.

Cons

Layoffs happen, and occasionally entire teams get cut in order to re-focus the companies resources in the constantly changing industry. And while time is given to find another position, it still sucks for everyone affected.
