Pros

Nice coworkers and good projects.

Cons

Management continually ices good projects with good results to stop bad projects from bleeding. Entire company will grind to a halt once or twice a year because the C-suite is worried about how some numbers look, even though bookings are solid. Only willing to invest in R&D if it's not their money. Pay is not competitive and you will have to strongarm them for cost of living increases.
