Pros

It is a place with very interesting technical challenges ---if you are looking for great technical problems and bright people to work with, then this is the right place. Also it has a get-things-done culture: things develop very rapidly and it is a short distance from idea to execution.

Cons

The biggest disadvantage of working here is the on-call burden. You are required to carry a pager on a rotation basis and it binds you down whenever you have it. Some teams have a very heavy on-call load which interferes with regular development.
