Pros

Great opportunities to contribute to open source. Open source/free software is in their DNA. You are not just writing code, you are collaborating with the best in the world and making the world a better place. Fair compensation. Accomplishments are recognized and rewarded. Sane work hours. Management that has a technical background and works with you. Little to no office politics.

Cons

Many departments are silos.
