Pros

Lots of mobility Friendly environment and decent management Generous pay structure for researchers / PMs Flat hierarchy (few intermediate managers)

Cons

Poor planning leads to mediocre job stability: company hires lots of people, than suddenly lays them off. I said mediocre rather than poor, as they tend not to fire people when they are not in cost-cutting mode, except of case of clear failure.
