Pros

Great benefits package. Lots of smart people really dedicated to their jobs. Opportunties for growth within the company.Fun product lines and some great service providers can make it interesting.

Cons

It's a man's club. LIke good ol' boys with cigars. They want you to sell your soul for the company. Lots of perks for those willing to work til all hours (as in midnight), weekends, etc. This encourages you to place work as a priority over family, which is just wrong.
