Pros

Good advantages, flexible hours, nice people to work with. You can work remotely when needed so work-life balance is easier even if you do need the extra hours, which you definitely do even to get a measly "meets expectations" on your performance review.

Cons

Corporate message on values is completely opposite to reality. Development staff is considered cost that needs to be reduced, not as investment that makes money. Growth is exclusively through acquisition, no innovation from internal teams, only attempt to apply technologies at least a decade old which came from cheap acquisition to solve modern problems. Forward looking vision is actually frowned upon and only immediate problems of existing customers are considered having any kind of value.
