Pros

One-of-a-kind systems to work on. A "good" project can be technically fulfilling. Get your early-career cred here, then move on to a better company that will appreciate you.

Cons

If you're not management or task-leadership by 35, GTFO. There's a definite "Eloi vs Morlocks" culture here. Best employer in the world for that favored 20%. The other 80% will languish. Wait too long and you'll be unemployable anywhere else.
