Pros
You get to work will some really great people. The team knows how to rally together when things need to get done. Also great opportunities can be given at the right time. For some, work life balance is ok.
Cons
There is a perception that one of the departments seems to control the narrative and path everyone walks down. Any attempt to deviate from that , such as tech stack upgrades, it met with resistance. This forces the teams to work on older less efficient technologies and have to continue to support them long after the original company has stopped supporting. Work Life balance is a struggle at times as poor planning leads to late nights and weekends. Even when others try to call things out ahead of time, dates are still expected to be hit. Also RTO has become a big sticking point with the parent company (Choice Hotels) currently at 4 days in office a week.
