Pros

A lot of flexibility to work from home, generous benefits, and lot of vacation days. Was good for a while when first joined.

Cons

Management do not know what they are doing. Good people are leaving and new hired developers are usually from offshore India without much experience. Not as innovative as it used to be. Work distributed not balance, some developers work really long hours but not being appreciated, while other work short hours. Morale is low and lot of politics.

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.
