Pros

Generally not boring work, normal work/life balance, interesting products.

Cons

To elaborate on my headline, this place has somehow managed to take the worst of both worlds: startup and large company. Startup: Awful pay, no focus on personal/professional development, poor people management, expected to do the job of technicians and work nights and weekends, poor planning. Large company: Sterile culture, annoying HR, politics and bureaucracy, low diversity, especially in management, arbitrary hiring decisions, little to no transparency.
