Pros

Lots of technology projects. Plenty of perks inside and outside the office (some people don't take enough advantage of these). Decent hiring process. Good mentorship for junior hires (college recruiting is very well done).

Cons

Deadline-oriented development. Explicit tracking of hours in the office and hours "billed" to various departments (most developers aren't used to billing time like lawyers). Virtually impossible to get rid of poor performers (usual fear of lawsuits).
