Pros

Smart people, challenging problems, large impact. Compensation and benefits are very good. Internal tools and systems are also very good.

Cons

There seems to be a lot of overhead to launching even though the company tries to foster small start-up groups. I think many small groups fragments the resource space and in some ways makes for artificial scarcities.
