Pros

Pretty good work/life balance - longer sprint cycles mean it's not hard to deliver on requirements.

Cons

They are not a tech firm. It's the technology arm of a slow-moving, bureaucratic finance firm. Not embracing WFH - very strong years with whole staff WFH, but now are pushing for 3 days and eventually full week back in office. Lots of my team is leaving because of it.
