Pros

Free chocolate, very individualistic work style so you can shine if you talk loud and present well, no accountability for results, no depth so you will never be caught out :)

Cons

Culture is horrible - they tout those five principles all the time but no one believes in them. Manage your boss and his boss and you will grow No career development and no process, you are expected to make your own way Shifting standards for performance every year based on who you talk to No accountability for bad behavior for senior people

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
