Pros

You're surrounded by very smart people Great location and facilities Flexible hours Nice company culture Very understanding managers Work from home when you need to

Cons

Depending on your team, you don't get to write a lot of code and spend a lot of time on ops Even simple systems are a pain to write due to all the legacy services you have to deal with and interact with - this can be very frustrating Developers end up doing a lot of administrator work Very small chance of ever working on a new system
