Pros

Pay is competitive, and most people are pretty friendly.

Cons

Software development is a constant battle here, no attempts at building quality software are made. Documentation is frowned upon. Refactoring doesn't happen. Everything is a quick fix. If it doesn't work throw it away and build something new. If any of these are a red flag for you you definitely shouldn't work here.
