Pros

1. Very competent peers. 2. If you are in the right team, you can expect a lot of new innovative work. 3. Pretty good pay package (but definitely not the highest in the industry).

Cons

1. A lot of operational work is forced on the developers. This can get frustrating. 2. Sometimes management doesn't really understand your work and its value. This affects promotions/appraisal. 3. Not many facilities inside the office.
