Pros

Great external reputation Nice to have on a resume Above average pay

Cons

Training material scattered over numerous intranet sites - excruciating to find information that seem trivial in other companies Technology stack is old and "Morganized" so extra learning curve paired with tedious SDLC processes Must learn new tech outside of work if you want to remain marketable Zero work life balance with no culture of overtime pay - don't join if you actually like your spouse and kids.
