Pros

The people are great. The pay is above average for the expected amount of work.

Cons

Big place with lots of people. Naturally, not everybody can be a star performer. Some people cause more confusion and harm than value. Large legacy code bases with below average technical training make adopting good techniques an uphill battle. Many manual processes causing DevOps to be much more Ops than Dev. It is very easy to get sucked into feeling like you've not delivered enough value during the day, causing pressure to work extra on personal time.
