Pros

Absolutely some of the brightest people in the industry. Great projects and mentors for honing your specialized skill set. No problems getting the right specialized software to do the job. Pay is in-line and the benefits are slightly above average.

Cons

You feel like an independent consultant lobbying internally to maintain your billable workload. There is no workload planning, so you have to constantly take on too much work to make sure you meet billable goals. There is little cross-training, so what you were hired to do is what you will do everyday. You see your supervisor once a year during annual reviews. The office culture is bleak and slightly depressing. Hard to describe, but just not a happy place to work.
