Stressful
Pros: Good resume builder (for now)
Cons: Performance review system is stressful and forces people to focus on short term goals rather than having fun solving challenging problems. Instead of competing with Apple, Google, etc. folks fight colleagues in the same pay level. Very long hours, have to compete with indentured servants (i.e. H1B visa holders) from India and China that will do anything (work 12 - 14 hours days since their job is the ticket to a green card).
