Pros

Salaries are competitive and everyone who works there is intelligent.

Cons

There's a culture of implementing mechanisms over trusting developers, which leads to bloated systems with a dozen different code checkers / security risk analyzers / etc. that are in constant need of maintenance. Makes development pretty miserable.
