Pros

good insurance, benefits, 401k. fancy building, free snacks. However, any other tech company would have at least this level of benefits.

Cons

terrible for career growth as a software developer. You cannot learn from doing the work. You have to learn by yourself. Because they use outdated tech, you will have hard time switch jobs to a real IT company.
