Pros

Can learn a lot from all the smart people there. Most of management are still very motivated to improve efficiency, process, and advancing technology.

Cons

Projects can have an unrealistic schedule. Leading to a very poor work & life balance. This is not recognized by the management. Also I don't think I've ever been thanked for doing a good job.
