Pros

You are working with cutting edge technology, good people, good benefits, good exposure and many opportunities if you want to work internationally.

Cons

Salary a bit on the low side (for me anyway) when compared to previous position. There are layoffs every year (at least since I have been here since '09) as they remove the bottom 10% every year. I think this hurts morale.
