Pros

Education assistance if you can get approval - good luck. Sabbatical. But it isn't a separate benefit. You just used your accrued paid time off for the year.

Cons

The pay is poor, and the room for advancement is pitiful. It's a dinosaur of a company that's slow to do anything. They only switched from IBM Notes a few years ago. They care more about hitting their diversity targets than actual business contributions.
