Pros

Your colleagues. More than anything else, I really enjoy working somewhere where I can rely on not just the competence but as importantly the friendliness and general willingness to pitch in, of my colleagues. It is also lovely to work somewhere that genuinely does seem to try and do the right thing. (That sounds like schmaltz but it is true).

Cons

It feels like it's tending to become more bureaucratic. Nothing like on the scale of my last job, but still not what I expected when I joined. "Gut feel" and intuition are far outweighed by numbers. That's not necessarily a downside, but it does mean you are restricted to only making certain kinds of arguments if you wish your recommendations to be taken seriously, and this style doesn't necessarily suit everyone.

Pros

You work with really smart and down-to-earth technical people on projects that have direct and visible impact to the world.

Cons

It has grown so big that it has lost some of its culture. Career advancement is now the slow slough in any big multinational company. And late-comers might envy the people who joined earlier who got more opportunities to advance.
