Pros

They pay you. There are benefits. There is "unlimited" PTO.

Cons

Management seems focused on making the company look good on paper in the short term. They are constantly trying to force out new features on a short schedule, and also pinch pennies on employees. This results in products that employees have little or no confidence in, and high stress for the people doing the work. Management requires complete buy-in to SAFE from employees (including 3+ month advance PTO scheduling and PTO blackouts) but they demand additions to the PI almost as soon as the confidence vote has happened. When there is a budget shortfall they make up the difference with layoffs and offshoring, or by making benefits worse. Promotions outside of management are difficult to come by, and pay lags because of that. "Unlimited" PTO isn't actually unlimited. Benefits are bare minimum: 401k match is below average, insurance options are expensive for what you get
