Pros

Solid developer experience and onboarding experience. Great ability to focus on heads-down work with minimal meetings for lower-level ICs. Good perks (lunch, snacks/coffee, etc). Pay is competitive and I feel well-compensated for my skills and work

Cons

3 days mandatory in office; if you need more flexibility or ability to go remote, this is not common (but possible in theory).
