* Great team members * Easy access to needed resources * Above average compensation and benefits * Nice facilities * Interesting work, depending on the group you are in

Cons

Not all teams have great leadership. Often times great engineers will be put into management and leadership positions where they don't really belong. The looming threat of layoffs always made for tense times.
