Pros

+ A great compensation package, very competitive salary, stocks, health insurances, bonuses, vacation-days, etc. + Personal (1-2 people) offices (if you like that) + Stressful but you can keep proper life-work balance if you can spin it right over the email

Cons

- The work progress is VERY slow and most of the day is spent over emails and meetings - Very little interaction with your manager and your team - Email based communication turns people very formal and cold to each other in personal interaction - Degrading attitude to contractors - Peers that work beside you, doing the same job, but getting a very cold treatment (e.g aren't invited to trips)

Pros

There is a very good change that you can have healthy work/life balance. Good product teams are mature and have good developing process/plans which allows you to expect what is coming.

Cons

More difficult to get promotions as there are many senior employees. It is frustration sometimes because there are too many factors stopping the company from responding to the quick-changing and consumer-driving situations nowadays.
