Pros

The location, free food, cellphone perks.

Cons

I have been with several teams. Some are organized and well managed, others are ad-hoc, always on fire, and expect you to work beyond 40 hours, and have not heard of software processes that would make developers' lives easier. The most fun team so far was mobile, where WLB was good and teammates were fun. Mobile department and its managers rock! Many teams are still in a startupish ad-hoc mode. There are many teams that do duplicate or similar work without communicating with each other. Some managers and directors are not very hands on with the development and technologies, which makes it hard for the engineers. Many good engineers left.
