Pros

You are working on cutting edge technology and working with brilliant people. Pay for performance.

Cons

Promotion of scientists and engineers to management positions without the ability to manage. People skills are significantly lacking in upper management. Mid to low level employees are seen as second rate citizens. Work life balance is nonexistent. Many new college grads are being brought in because they don't know that the grass truly is greener elsewhere.

Pros

None. At least in my group.

Cons

HUGE disparity between groups and departments. Some groups literally work 80 hours a week. A lot of young engineers don't realize what that means when they interview. If you're a new engineer you'll be working second shift so that means working from 12pm - 4am, 5 days a week. Oh and don't expect to get any days off approved. You'll be working 16 hour days on Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, 4th of July, etc. Other groups work from 8am - 5pm with a 1.5 hour lunch. At 5:01 they're gone. A good rule of thumb is anything related to LED R&D or LED production is going to suck. Other groups are hit or miss.
