Pros

Good pay. Great benefits. Yearly events at nice locations = fantastic perk. The company vision is compelling. A technologist can be happy here if not invested in the things they're building + accept that they serve ever changing needs of researchers.

Cons

Many mediocre and even bad people. Legacy code is embarrassing, demonstrating tolerance for low quality. Trade off is intentional - some people/locations are cheaper. Research pulls in all directions, but no one prioritizes because they're afraid to say "no". This adds to low quality - people get pulled off one thing and onto another before done, which sends message - quality doesn't matter. Also, the company is ultra-remote - not easy to deal with. Time zones 12 hours different from your own. Collaboration very challenging and sometimes large delays in projects.
