Pros

Many teams working on interesting projects. Minimal "red tape" for implementing or improving features. Many teams which own high impact components - good visibility when improvements are made.

Cons

Management usually prioritizes aggressive project timelines above software and design quality. Many teams have a lot of support work for their components. Noisy and crowded work environment.
