Pros

Above average comp if you negotiate well coming in. Work with nice people

Cons

Career growth is 100% about who likes you and not anything to do with performance. Don't bother applying to other opportunities in the company unless you know that you are the favorite of the hiring manager. Even if you get to the point of a conversation, it is only for show. They already know who is getting the role, but appearances are important. They will say all the right things and then do another behind closed doors. Raises are either laughably low or non existent. Negotiate well coming in and expect that to be your pay for the next few years, and at that point you may get a 4% bump. The technology is out of date and build quality has suffered.
