Pros

Good pay and benefits, they even pay bonuses

Cons

Most decisions made with only cost in mind. If they can get it done cheaper outsde the U.S, it goes to Eastern Europe or Asia, and if that means it takes two days to get a simple communication done (like a manager answering a question), they don't care. Discussion about improvements to products always end with "We don't have the resources." Layoffs happen every year and are done by a formula, with no attention to quality of work.
