Pros

Very litle politics. If I do a good job, I get recognized. Things happen very quickly here - there is little red tape/beauracracy and people tell each other the truth.

Cons

We work really hard. "We can't do that" is not a good answer - we are constantly pushing to solve the impossible problems faster. These are all good things, but they add up to a lot of work and I wouldn't recommend it to people who aren't used to working in a fast paced environment.

Pros

The scale and breadth of the work is energizing, and I am free to solve problems in just about any way I like. The people are also generally charged, smart and inspiring making it fun to meet and work with most everyone.

Cons

Projects are often under resourced and overly ambitious, creating an frenetic unfocused environment that can sometimes be hard to get simple things done. The frugal mindset is sometimes just cheap, which can cost more in the long run. It's okay to spend money when it ends up being well amortized.
