Pros

Money and benefits are good. Bonus is good - but that depends purely on which team are working on, and on your team lead. Office is ok (as for open space) Lots of smart people

Cons

A lot of work. Often pointless and mundane. Legacy stuff. Lots of stupid people. Long hours if you want to be promoted. Difficult to advance. Company treats people - especially contractors - like crap. Be ready to move back in time 20 years if you work here.
