Pros

Nice, smart people. Haven't run across any jerks. Cool product making a positive impact. Clear vision from top leadership about what we're trying to do. Unlimited PTO Generous pay I really like my manager

Cons

Code, tools, processes all old. A lot of time lost on everything but development (fighting with tools, trying to understand old code, etc).
