Pros

You will have a job. There are some nice people to work with that you will meet at PG. You can have a long and safe career with PG if you are willing to sacrifice everything but your job. Ability ot travel world wide if you like to.

Cons

Company culture is extreme and there is no room for creativity. You will not be promoted unless you are a "yes" man. You must adhere to the "standards" at all costs even if you can find a better way to do something. No respect for technology or peoples abilities to grow and learn. IF you work for PG too long you will have no skills to work for another company. A company of managers and delegators and no one doing anything but paperwork.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
