Pros

Traffic handling code is amongst the most mature and interesting in the business. Lots of latitude to work on what interests you. Smart and hard working dev team, but you're not expected work yourself to the bone.

Cons

Project planning is still maturing as the company has been growing a lot recently. Some of the internal systems and infrastructure are not supported well enough and can become a hindrance by slowing down constantly.
