Pros

Great wlb. hybrid office. if you need to get something done outside of work, its not a big deal as long as you get your work done. benefits are great and very family friendly. There are many projects to work on and switch around internally

Cons

Lower compensation than I could find elsewhere. Bonuses are slim to none - same with RSUs, which are rare and you are lucky if you get any. And even if you do, most likely it will be a fairly low amount. A lot of work and effort is needed by you to get promoted past band 8/9
