Pros

This is a real meritocracy where your hard work will translate into opportunity. The company is financially and structurally stable, so you aren't distracted by quarterly shareholder meetings and pointless reorganizations.

Cons

Many in the management hierarchy have never worked elsewhere in tech; this leads to a bit of one-dimensional outlook on how things should be done, how employees should be treated and how they should behave. Also, there is a tendency to under-react to accomplishments and over-react to mistakes.
