Pros

Great opportunity to move roles internally, rapid acceleration of skills, decent pay and opportunities to work big projects.

Cons

Culture of over-mechanizing everything, focusing too much on structured inputs and no longer working backward from the customer. Lots of fluff and performance - most things being changed are for someone's promo doc, not because the company or customer actually needs them. Extremely over-indexed on internal-AI tooling. Not to mention constant fear of layoffs.
