Pros

Great culture and people. Many layers and teams so endless amounts to learn so you will never be bored and can grow your skillset within. They offer transfer opportunities within the company, so once your in you can move around. Great work life balance.

Cons

Negotiate pay on the way in because pay increases are minimal with tenured staff.
