Pros

It's relatively stable and growing. Office location is pretty good. Job is kind of interesting. Gives opportunities to students.

Cons

Salaries are beneath market. PCs used for development/testing just suck. Working environment is noisier than you'd expect. Overtimes aren't paid. No work trips ever unless you're manager. No educational programs or conferences. Some technologies are way outdated.
