Pros

Good compensation, benefits and work life balance

Cons

Terrible work environment, people constantly talk over each other, nobody listens and nobody knows how to cooperate. All the real talent left long ago, the people that stayed can barely keep the lights on. It's only a matter of time until the whole thing gets shut down.
