Pros

Generally smart people, although not the smartest Excellent benefits Flexible hours, no micro-managements

Cons

Too much emphasis on seniority Some "senior" developers don't know basic things (like don't try to quicksort a linked list) Proper recognition is rarely given to new employees New employees often end up doing the "grunt work" even though they may be much more qualified than existing employees

Pros

Great benefits, many smart people, and once you build trust can set your own goals and define your own role.

Cons

While there are quite a few extremely smart, talented employees, many treat it like a government job where they rarely show up, and cannot be fired. Everyone wants to own their own little kingdom.
