Pros

Great compensation, work environment, development opportunities, and diversity of people and ideas.

Cons

Supervisors are often inexperienced and they could do more to prepare them for their roles and offer more oversight. However, the good ones tend to be retained, so bad supervisors don't last long.

Pros

Work with very intelligent people Complete meaningful projects Learn plenty about people management Well paid

Cons

A lot of management do not have business-related backgrounds (english majors, teachers, etc.) Expectations raised each year, even if your job function or title has not materially changed Expectations aren't always clear Can be managed by someone who has no management experience, or doesn't have the people skills required to be a manager Placed on teams without thought for team synergies (who would work best with who)
