Pros

Lots of talented and smart people Vast learning opportunities - majority of people share information freely People from different departments work well with each other

Cons

Too much politics Unfair compensation for those working on weekends No work/life balance Management fail to retain talented people and fail to remove the troublemakers. Fail to reward those who REALLY work.
