Pros

Pay is good. Provide meals.

Cons

Very unfriendly development environment for a software engineer. Excessively stringent firewall design and information security control. I can't even use my company laptop for development because the IT head said that we don't want to code on-premises. But who cares about my shxt code? It's not really highly secure like fab data or other trade secrets.
