Pros

The pay is one of the highest in the software industry. You work with a lot of very smart people. There is a fairly high level of autonomy in most positions. You are expected to get your work done on time and with a minimum of hand-holding.

Cons

Work/Life balance is almost non-existant. You are encouraged to come in early and stay late whenever possible. During "crunch time" it's more of a mandate than an encouragement. Political ties make more difference in promotions than actual work performance. If you are a successful SDE you will be moved up the Manager track most likely (since a lot of the successful SDEs have good leadership qualities that a lot of current managers lack).
