Pros

Growing company, likely to spin off as a Bank, nice facility, benefits were a good deal, flexible work situation depending on your group. Better than ebay.

Cons

Sweatshop mentality, very high turnover in my team. 3 managers in 6 months, priorities and responsibilities constantly changing. Team was very clique-ish to outsiders/newbies. Manager was more interested in her own career, terrible at motivation, communication. There is a tendency to treat engineers/people like interchangeable work units. I landed into a team that was in a lot of churn, fraught with political upheaval and was very clannish . Not much support for the new employee - basically dropped into the deep end without much assistance and left to navigate on my own. Was warned about that, but very stressful regardless. Reviews of new employees don't seem to account for the fact that the learning curve is very steep.
