Pros

Good work-life balance and good benefits! A lot of smart individuals and good people.

Cons

Poor management. It is too easy to become a manager but very hard to grow in the technical path. Stay away if you don't like brown-nosing but if you like easy brainless work just come to work on time and pretend you work hard as long as you answer all your emails and go to all the meetings.
