Pros

I met some of the smartest colleagues I've ever had here. The comradery we had working on complex projects was great. Work life balance is relatively good for the industry.

Cons

Pay is below market rate. And at least when I worked there, they were not investing enough in technology to the point where it was hurting their ability to adapt and move quickly. Top management is greedy and lives with their heads in the clouds.
