Pros

Very agile in the strict sense of the word. Moves quickly. Embraces innovation. Accepts failures and moves on. Truly focuses on the customers, not on politics. Results focused. It's been said to be more of a start-up environment than even start-ups are; that's how dynamic it is.

Cons

Not for the faint-of-heart. Certain departments burn people. Often hard to have work-life balance. Not a lot of perks (no slides...). Not always the highest salaries around. Can be very hard to be promoted.

Pros

Strong sense of ownership at the team level. Fast paced environment. Cutting edge technologies. Strong customer focus. Opportunity to make long lasting changes at all levels.

Cons

Can be chaotic and challenging to navigate the extra-team environment. Leadership development programs somewhat spotty. Manager support lacking. Infighting between senior managers and VPs can be tiring.
