Pros

Opportunities for advancement are great.. if you're willing to put in the hours, and especially, if you're internationally mobile. The compensation (salary/benefits) are good. The company is engaged in work that makes a difference in people's lives.

Cons

Extremely high expectations to do more with minimal additional resources. The pressure to deliver more consistently is great. "Raise the bar" is a catch-phrase that sets the tone from senior management.
