Pros

It used to be a good place, but going downhill majorly in 2024

Cons

Constant switching to work on some hot new project. Sales-driven projects prioritized, while internal systems neglected to the point of constant failure. On-call 24/7 to fix 10+ year old systems when they fail. For a security company, our own security is not taken seriously. It will be embarrassing -- if not company-ending, when the hack happens. Many layers of management and not enough engineers. CIO is on YouTube gloating about reducing IT staff and outsourcing at his last job. He ran off a bunch of good, tenured people. HR takes DE&I to an aggressive level. White males are ranked below everyone else in the pile of applications.

Good place to start but you will outgrow it quickly. Hard to get promoted so you have to leave to get ahead.
