Pros

Good pay + benefits. Talented coworkers. Lots of in-house skill development resources for those sufficiently motivated.

Cons

Terrible crunch culture and arcane politics from upper management can often lead to poor work-life balance and perpetual crunch within certain orgs, that only get worse as high-value contributors slowly start showing signs of burn-out.
