Pros

Work life balance is great, where you only do overtime when necessary and it is not unreasonable. Great opportunity to try out different technologies and approaches at work.

Cons

There is little hint on career prospects. Job security can be an issue as people can be laid off without warning.

Pros

Some nice people, fun vibe, benefits are ok, have every tool needed for success. If you want to work 9-5(ish) and just kind of drift along, might be good environment.

Cons

No real career opportunities (don't believe recruiters), after talking to other folks it's typical to get stuck in your same position for a long time, lots of pretending/not much actual knowledge. Also, you're going to be at your starting salary (with minimal bumps) for a very long time. Be aware of that.

Pros

Great benefits (especially paid time off), great technologies, great people.

Cons

New management is trying too hard to be hip and cool; company run by bean counters.
