Pros

Decent work environment, some interesting work and cool industry contacts. Pay is decent.

Cons

Tend to hire rather than promote from within. Job descriptions, promotion path -- all HR processes are pretty messy. People who produce profit are allowed to do just about anything they want regardless of how toxic they might be.
