Pros

I really loved the people on my team; just very friendly, very competent people, with a reasonable amount of respect for work/life balance. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean all teams will be the same way.

Cons

My interaction with my team members was largely virtual, so it wouldn't be a good situation for someone looking to hang out with buddies after work all the time.
