Pros

Stable company so far. Pockets of nice people.

Cons

Culture is slow and not innovative Leadership lacks qualifications and competencies for a true professional firm. Some can be very abusive and unprofessional. Especially GBD. Compensation is low compared to industry, but so are the employee qualifications and background. Compared against typical employees at FANG or other more competitive tech companies, academic and professional backgrounds lacking. You can't expect to get paid like people from top tier programs and employers if you are not that.
