Pros

Fun coworkers. Junior developers get responsibility and learning opportunities, but only because management doesn't know how to hire/retain senior developers. You will probably never get fired.

Cons

Very political environment. Management will press developers to crank out features as quickly as possible, which leads to an awful work life balance and a codebase that is falling apart (an experienced engineer new to BXi described the codebase as "the worse [he's] ever seen"). Awful software development practices from 15+ years ago. Turnover is abnormally high. Relatively high interview bar but comparatively low salary.
