Pros

Great benefits, family oriented culture, challenging work, pretty well managed. There are plenty of opportunities to try new things. The two teams I've worked with have had a lot of autonomy.

Cons

I really cannot complain. I haven't worked with anyone I dislike. There was some politics involved with one team where a VP made a decision about which software we were supposed to use without the input of the team.
