Pros

Opportunity to work on a wide range of technologies and products. Working through couple of release cycles on big projects, helps building wide range of skills, essential for shipping a product. Good benefits; lots of trainings, tuition assistance for continuing education.

Cons

The way review process is set up, it forces developers to put substancial efforts on being 'visible'. I think these efforts could be spent more on development activities.
