Pros

Tough problems to work on, good people to work with, and generally the benefits are good.

Cons

Benefits have been trending towards cutting costs the last few years (legal, vision, dental), but are overall pretty good still. Teams and managers can vary wildly and career progression gets very hard with a bad manager (that's probably true most places).
