Pros

Good pay, good perks, name recognition within the industry.

Cons

The engineering department is dysfunctional and disorganized, without a lot of consistency around how code is written or teams are run. There don’t seem to be any central architectural principles people agree on. There’s no oversight of managers, so no way to appeal or escalate issues on the team or department. There are some ‘broken stairs’ around who make discussion or debate of technical issues in public forums too unpleasant to be worth it.
