Pros

People are not competitive Some engineers are bright and experienced

Cons

Job can and most probably will be boring unless you end up in one of the few good teams. Technology and infrastructure is dated. Efforts are made to clear those, but management has only vision, no plan. Managers don't care about you and your career. They micro manage and assign whatever they feel it's important. I have had a manager walk out of a 1 on 1 when I told him I am rather unsatisfied with what I am currently doing and I'd like to improve the situation. You handle a subset of client complaints regardless of whether you are responsible for the product or not. Lateral movement, although advertised is a myth. If you're in a bad position, might as well look for a new job ..
