Pros

A few nice colleagues, Work life balance.

Cons

Very political. Opportunities are given based on how much you are willing to slave away for "special projects". Job scope does not match up to the title given (e.g. managers don't have much to manage but need to do intern-level work). Obvious hierarchy between teams - some teams have more say in how things should be done while other teams have to bend over backwards to accommodate to them. People only focus on managing up, stealing credit and inflating the contribution they've made.
