Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities to pursue interesting technologies/ideas Great benefits Very interesting work with the capacity to specialise in any particular area that interests you Always more to learn, you should never get bored

Cons

Work day is 9 hours and isn't terribly convenient for me, so I don't get to spend as much time at home as I'd like. Weekend Work/On Call Rotation, but you find this everywhere and On Call isn't so bad. Long list of responsibilities for better or worse

Nice people, nowhere to go

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, many long tenures and generous with telecommuting and work schedule flexibility. Good benefits and salary is probably on par.

Cons

Very little chance for advancement especially for mid-level employees. This is due, in part, to the ever changing employee level goals and targets. When it seems in reach, it get farther away. Hard to get things done across business lines.
