Pros

Friendly people, nice location in downtown Chicago, if you get a good manager you are set. The development organization is not really that young here, so if you are an older person it can be very comfortable. Rarely expected to work OT.

Cons

1) Old software architecture - it's like pulling teeth to try to get some unit tests written; 2) Inconsistent processes across and within groups - in my group, development is sort of Agile, business is still waterfall - bad mix; 3) Too much outsourcing oversees, so collaborative development is impossible; 4) Not allowed to work from home regularly.
