Get a chance to work with interesting open source software. Some fantastically smart people to work with.

Cons

Very much a boys club. Can easily get boxed into a particular role. No room for growth. Lack of proper guidence and management. Information and company decisions heavily filtered. Some knowledge hiding.

Pros

Talented engineers, passionate about open source. Open/transparent culture. Management really cares about your long-term happiness and will help you find ways to work towards your career goals. Working with the latest technology to stabilize it for enterprise use.

Cons

Salary is a bit low compared to other companies, but the benefits and work/life balance help even that out. Sometimes individual teams can lack leadership or fall into states of dysfunction, but it really depends on your immediate team. And you can always switch to another department (like I did... twice).
