Pros
Exposure to all sorts of new technologies. Great lecture series. People are generally friendly. For a company that size it seems to have retained a fair bit of startup mentality. Company devotes 1 day a month to hack on anything you want and awards prizes. Free food.
Cons
Lots of politics which is not unusual per se; no more than I've seen in other places that I've worked at. Not a lot of visibility into what other groups are doing at any meaningful detail; weekly operations reports does not cut it. Early employees typically get the choicest projects but it seems that management understands this problem and this seems to be changing.
