Pros

Very friendly environment, a lot of smart people, no politics, huge vacations, job security, decent salary.. I've made a lot of good friends there.

Cons

Quite old technologies and methodologies used, tiny bonuses, lack of the career perspective. Reorganizations (and subsequent lay-offs) are twice a year. Lots of communications required - similar to any large company.
