Pros

Good working environment, lots of great mentors, networking opportunities and events, good/cheap cafeteria food (because it's subsidized), great working/learning experience in diverse workplace

Cons

Terrible about paying short-term contractors on time (went 3-4 weeks without getting paid, too frequently), taxes not automatically deducted from each pay check and you have to pay taxes out of your own pocket later, not much mobility in terms of opportunities to move up-- this is definitely a place you would come back to later after acquiring more professional experiences, not a place to root as a budding young professional unless you want to do administrative work for the rest of your career.

Pros

Staff from a large number of countries; opportunity to work on the front lines of development and travel globally; access to resources - both financial and expertise.

Cons

Quite bureaucratic on hand but also very decentralized on the other. Ability to deliver often constrained by immediate teams and onerous processes.
