Pros

Pays well. Stable. Sponsors visas. Nice sinecure for the unambitious.

Cons

This place is full of h1b visa holders. They work 100 hour weeks, and if you don't do the same, you will be toast. They create a culture of corruption and patronage similar to any crony-capitalist third-world country, but on a higher pay scale. You are a slave and your ideas are not valued, because your success is a threat to your boss. There is a chain of 12 levels of hierarchy here. Endless politics. The better you are, the worse your life will be.
