Pros

By and large very high hiring bar for development. (Not sure with new conversion of SDET's to SDE's). Sustainable working hours for the most part. Some cutting edge research and product development with hard engineering problems to solve. Affordable living close to work. Good perks.

Cons

Poor management. Employees are disillusioned with HR and management. Too many PM's running around doing nothing and taking most of the credit with "visibility". There isn't enough work to go around so devs just spend time doing their pet project until it gets cancelled and they are re orged and moved. Too many reorgs and moves!!!! Not agile by any stretch of imagination.
