Pros

Honestly, this company is amazing to work for if you are not involved in their technology. Great pay, great benefits, great environment.

Cons

No understanding of impact, business driven decisions are not led by an understanding of technology. Would rather hire novice off-shore developers to build something terrible than invest in strong architecture developed in-house. Lots of sitting around.
