Pros

Biggest collection of smart people I've ever seen. Health benefits are very good. Company culture is awesome - beer fridays (with company supplied beer!). They train you with some very marketable skills.

Cons

Lower levels of the support organization are habitually understaffed and overworked. Once you get trained with an additional skillset, the job stress/workload goes from 'wow this is a great job' to 'wow, let me polish my resume'.
