Pros

hiring process is rigorous, resulting in generally very high-quality coworkers

Cons

1. Very poor IT culture outside of R&D and cutting edge investments. If you see a very simple change that raises work quality, reduces errors, saves money and reduces employee frustration, chances are slim to none that it will ever come to pass. 2. High quality employees will burn out and leave from frustration once realizing that their tactic in many areas is to take advantage of ambitious, driven professionals by overworking them at the expense of their work-life balance rather than acting on even the simplest opportunities to improve the process and infrastructure.
