Pros

Bleeding edge technology and projects Switching teams is encouraged Hard problems to solve

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue about quality engineers. They promote people who they are buddy buddy with, even if they write unmaintainable / unscalable code. They also give out the big projects based on this flawed criteria. No wonder the average time there is about 2 years.
