Pros

Amazing tech: stable, solid, innovative. Decent benefits and comp. Business model proven and effective.

Cons

Very difficult to get into, technologically and culturally. OCaml is a big stumbling block for discovery and self-learning on the job, Culture of "genius" (people pretending enormous intelligence by refusing to answer simple questions).
