Pros

The benefits are not bad. Most coworkers are friendly to work with.

Cons

Not a good place to learn and grow. Core technology is outsourced overseas. Unprofessional management, biased treat to different race. Yell at their employees in public and unctuously apologized to witnesses later to get away with the trouble. They lied to you about projects, motives, promotion/task shifts during meetings. Direct boss, being fishy all the time but an absolute jerk, always throw his employees under the bus. Gave negative performance evaluation without reason. Gave little time for employees to learn but to urge them to complete the tasks so that it made him look good. There is no doubt that everybody's experience could be different depends on whose your manager is.

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.
