Pros

Excellent interview process, industry standard technologies, experienced engineers, possibilities to learn

Cons

Everything is remote (there are offices but they are ghost towns), management knows best (ideas come from management, not engineers, leading to short-term checkmarks and long-term trouble, bandwagoning)
