Pros

Modern office, nice perks like free snacks and lunches, likely able to play video games for a substantial part of your work day instead of being productive

Cons

Training for non-red-badge employees is basically non-existent, whole subclass of full time employees without full time benefits listed as "contractors", likely to be paid under market rate, many hires completely unqualified and "learn on the job" how to do their work, team leaders often unknowledgeable about standard practices and knowledge of their positions and unqualified to instruct employees how to do their work, unqualified leaders and employees protected by nepotism.

Pros

The people. So nice, so passionate (albeit in pockets). Benefits! Great insurance and vacation.

Cons

Quite corporate. Rigid structure. There is reluctance to take risks. Difficult to move between projects or roles as a producer.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
