Pros

The delivery expectations for software developers are pretty much non existing, so if you are looking for something low stress - it's a great place to work. If you are outgoing and don't mind non stop meetings - it's quite easy to get promoted (although compensation will still be pretty mediocre).

Cons

Even though the answer from the company may say that they are making sure the salaries are competitive - what it really means is that they are mediocre. So If you are looking for high expectations / high reward job - it's not it. The promotion process selection for the leadership positions is based around how well liked you are and not on competency. Which produces tons of nice (or pretending to be nice) but incompetent leaders.
