Pros

Long-term employees have the opportunity to earn much larger salaries than at other companies. Intellectually satisfying work at the industry leader. There are many opportunities to get great career-bosting experience by raising your hand for projects.

Cons

Most people put in long hours; there is pressure to be "on" 24/7 to colleagues in Europe and Asia as well as in the US. The environment, while team-based, is always competitive. Not everyone is a good fit in that atmosphere.
