Pros

Flexible working hours, travel. Work from home, maternity cover, shares system.

Cons

Pay is very low, the organisation is top heavy and it is impossible to grow and progress, very US centric, no recognition for your work, 90% routine and procedural work that even if you have a PhD, no conferences or networking. The location.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
