Pros

The people, the people, the people. Highly intelligent, committed. Good workspaces. Good IT department (if a little behind current state of the art). Very stable company and management.

Cons

Often imbalanced workloads between departments. Quite often too discursive-reflected through the need to have too many meetings. Can be too hierarchical at times.
