Pros

Best work-life balance Stable work Good teammates Good Management

Cons

Too stable, no rigorous work, and hence slow growth and slow promotion. Salary is industry standards (justifiable with the amount of work) it's best for people with family. I would not suggest bachelors to stay in the company for too long, join after you are married.
