Pros

* Lots of smart people * Exposure to lots of projects and tools * Good job out of college

Cons

* You need to be able to manage your career. Figure out which projects are going to succeed and not. Which opportunities will be good for you and not. * Not all bosses are good. Generally decent people, but not all equally competent at helping you further your career. You need to take ownership of your career and * Lots of politics, which will affect your rise, opportunities that you get, and if the products you work on will hit the market. I was on a project that was restarted 3x in 2.5 years, moved between groups. * Pay is definitely under market.

Fun to work here and you will work with smart folks who have lots of good experience and ideas to share.

Cons

Experience depends a lot on the manager. If you have a good manager, it can be very good to try new projects and also be flexible wrt to family situation.
