Pros

Great office location, very good health insurance.

Cons

You mostly need soft skills to get promoted / better pay here. As for technical skills, as long as your product works somehow, nobody cares. Infamous myCareer framework praised by local HR is used as an excuse not to promote people ("here is something you don't match yet, and yes, we won't let you work on it"). At the same time, softly skilled people easily bypass those checks. Essentially, you are at the mercy of your manager to be promoted or not. New hires area generally made for the pretty high level in the career ladder (because pay for the lower level is truly ridiculous), but beware of existing employees who were denied promotion to the same level from within :) Extremely noisy office (though there are a few quieter areas). Skilled people are leaving the company as fast as they can (considering the current job market situation in Au), pretty mediocre people are hired instead. Very few people were fired during last years for not doing their job properly, so once you are hired your job is safe :)

All Politics. Talented People Often Overlooked

Pros

Good benefits and interesting work.

Cons

The most political and non diverse culture. It's like a club where the only people that get ahead are those that play politics, know someone, or that the CEO personally likes (mainly men or women that act like men). A lot of dead weight and untalented people. Many unprofessional people.
