Pros

Good salary. Nice Office. Looks like it will be interesting. Excellent recruiting.

Cons

Terrible Tech stack. 20 years of letting things fester in their software stack. US is best - everyone else is inferior. Too much LBGT/Women Engineering/Black engineering nonsense. Very long and unproductive working week. 48+ hours. Terrible - no I mean TERRIBLE on-call system. The job you are recruited for, possibly will not be the one that you end up being assigned.
