Pros

Great benefits. You work with "grown ups" who know what they're doing and have done it for a while. They recognize and accept that you have a life outside of work.

Cons

Stock price is not doing anything. You won't retire to be a millionaire without making it to the top levels.

Pros

Exceptional benefits If the team is right, you get to work with some of the brightest minds of the planet Most full time employees get an office and privacy

Cons

Lower than average compensation Archaic software development methods (fixed planning / development / stabilization schedules) In-house cafeterias could be better The push is towards "coolness" instead of "usability"
