Pros

The company has some amazing engineers and a few good development managers. They'll provide nice new Macs for work as well.

Cons

Impossible to advance with the limited number of grade levels; senior management really doesn't want people to be promoted to any of them. Very high turnover of SDEs. Give serious consideration to not working here if you are mid-career.
