Pros

Relaxed working environment and good work/life balance; stable employment outlook.

Cons

"Culture" too often used to excuse below-average compensation and recognition. Stable employment outlook also means "dead wood" often isn't eliminated. Management often places too much value on the appearance of effectiveness vs. the reality of it.
