Pros

- Great benefits - Good compensation - Casual work environment - Market leader - Good place to coast your career if you just want a stable job - No layoffs...yet

Cons

- No emphasis on software design - entire mentality is focused on getting the job done as quickly as possible. - Managers actually discourage you from spending too much time designing code! - A lot of legacy code that is poorly written with no documentation - Management is very set on their ways - TONS of proprietary software - Lack of professional development. - Most likely will not learn much regarding software development...but you might learn a lot about finance
