Pros

You have quite a bit of autonomy over projects and there are some intelligent people that are dedicated to their jobs. The retirement plan is good - each year, the company contributes a percentage of an employee's salary based on what age range they fall into.

Cons

The company has recently conducted layoffs and have let go of some really competent employees. It appears that the company does not have a good handle on how to address employee morale and balancing of workloads among the employee's that remain. The benefits are mediocre - PTO not competitive within the industry, only one health plan to choose, from, etc.
