Pros

Pay can be decent, depending on your role. Like anywhere else, you will find some good people. Your tenure or desire to stay will depend on your luck with who you work under.

Cons

Management is the most incompetent and toxic I've seen anywhere; constant gas lighting and blaming subordinates for the own decisions, mistakes and incompetency. Work life balance doesn't exist for non management layer; they have no idea what they ask of their employees or the amount of work and time involved to hit milestones. Unrealistic expectations reflective of lack of experience and competency in many verticals. Extremely high turnover, both voluntary and involuntary. Lack of ethics you will run in to at many real estate businesses or sale heavy organizations. Company pretends to squash toxicity but the reality fosters it from executive all the way down to middle management.

Pros

Great place to learn, collaborate with other teams, and see the results of the work you put in. Good benefits and relaxed work environment that makes being at the office a great place to work. The people really make this place what it is.

Cons

Summers are very busy (common for student housing) and collaboration across teams is not always a smooth process.
