Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. The free soda and snacks are nice and the annual summer party is a treat. You do get free admission and/or discounts to a lot of good places!

Cons

Noisy!! You not only write software, but you are expected to fully own all aspects of it. That means you configure it, deploy it, support it, etc. (24/7) You are expected to produce software very, very quickly, but are denegrated if it does not meet future (and unplanned) demand. Terrible management who have a strong tendency to micro-manage. A truly surprising amount of bureaucracy and politics. Only certain groups are expected to develop infrastructure, everyone else is supposed to just bang applications together. They do not use Boost!
