Pros

Good pay Good benefits Nice office and desk Free food and drinks Looks good on your resume

Cons

If you get bullied and you complain it is YOU that will be written up or fired. If you get a good team you will have a lot of fun, if not you will hate it. Often, your team leader is inexperienced and will see you as a threat. Incredibly long hours , party due the archaic technology. The programmer gets the blame and the manager takes the credit. Never, ever, ever complain to HR. Once you have a target on your head you will be forced out. You will see this happening to others.
