Pros

1. Reasonable pay, higher than many companies 2. Very easy-going working environment 3. Better than average benefits (health insurance, car allowance etc.)

Cons

1. Everything depends on which team you are part of 2. Everything moves at a snail's pace 3. Managers and HR have little or no concern for any work related problems you might have e.g. making sure your overtimes are paid (ever). 4. Very little modern tech applied at work. Many if not most things are still done by hand. 5. Bonus is irregular 6. Skip-levels never talk or ask 7. Armchair leaders and armchair architects are commonplace (with rare exceptions)
