Pros

-Some of the individuals I worked with were truly excellent at their craft, and I wish I had gotten to know them under different settings.

Cons

-They will pay significantly less than competing jobs in the area. -They provided little to no professional development -I had to use personal computers during my first full year at the company because they refused to purchase me a laptop to use during mandatory remote work. -There were managers in charge of employees that had zero professional experience in the field they were managing. -Managers often failed to communicate deadlines, and are constantly playing "catch-up". -There were massive gaps in communication. Certain employees just didn't respond to emails, and weren't held accountable. -There was always a significant "hurry up and wait" aspect to the work, where deadlines were inconsistent with other projects or teams and management had no desire to change or adapt. -There was an illusion of creative freedom, where you are told to get creative, then have a manager tell you it's all wrong and to do it exactly how they want. -In my tenure they acquired several companies, gutted the staff of said acquisitions, and had employees take on significant additional tasks without a plan to distribute the workload properly. -Projects were often undertaken without a plan, or idea on whether it was physically possible to accomplish. -Managers were often shielded from any criticism, while also taking credit for everything their direct reports accomplish.
