Pros

Most of the developers and architects are friendly and very good at what they do. Not much going on in terms of office politics (though there is some). Management is OK.

Cons

Few exciting projects, lot's of very old legacy code, steep domain-specific learning curve. Not a particularly exciting or social atmosphere (speaking for my team anyways). Working space divided in pods, with about 10-12 people per pod.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
