Pros

Workload is usually reasonable, most employees on the development/operations side of the house can just put in their hours and go home.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement without a PhD -- and very limited even then. Product scope is extremely limited, so most engineers working here don't build technical skills that would be applicable anywhere except a direct competitor.
