Pros

relatively easy to get the job offer. good work-life balance good mentorship(at least in my team) I'm lucky that my team members are really helpful when I just get started, when I have questions I can always find the right people to ask and it works well. Also my manager is really nice and cares about my growth.

Cons

low starting salary lots of red tapes bullying new hires you need to know how to deal with people like a politician to survive, experienced employees like bullying and stabbing others(especially against new hires) in the back. Technical skill is less important than communication skill. You performance is evaluated by whom you know not what you know. Starting salary is the same for all new hires regardless of their background(and it's below the average). No matter if you a CS major or business major, the salary is all the same as software developers

Benefit package is good, including vacation Drive close to home Decent salary

Cons

Miserable atmosphere since many very talented coworkers left in layoff The best and hardest workers were sucked up by layoff while lazy workers remain 8th level managers are unfriendly now since they may be demoted Leadership is putting all of their eggs in AV and BEV baskets Office seating environment very noisy and unproductive Desired culture/values not in alignment with how great employees were let go Workload increased too much when lost people
