Pros

Salaries are among the highest in the software industry.

Cons

Extremely political environment. Coin operated. Executive staff continues to pay themselves handsomely while share holder return is dismal. Just see the latest Silicon Valley salary reviews, and compare the compensation and perks rankings of the CEO with the share holder return he had delivered in the time he has been around. Same for the EVP of Sales.
