Pros

Largely highly skilled engineers and for the most par very nice people on the engineering level. The company has no issues to invest large sums of money to development of a project and is always looking the the cutting edge tech. You will be able to do interesting stuff if you will leave the traditional mind set behind you.

Cons

The management is total shambles - most managers have no idea what are they doing not the understanding of their subordinates are responsible for (or the work loads or anything of this sort). The ever changing structure gives rise to people who are totally out of their element and trying to mask their inability to lead with superfluous activity loading it on the already overloaded engineers. There is a very limited amount of training. Inside the network team there is no path for promotion - once you're in a position that is it - the only option is to move teams but there is not much to chose from if you want to stay in networking.
