Pros

Good to get first experience. It's easy to get in with a relatively good salary (for a beginner). Some projects can be quite challenging and fun. Everyone is welcome to present their own ideas. Lots of really nice people. IF you get to be a part of a good team, you'll learn a lot...

Cons

...but some teams consist of people who don't know what they're doing and the management doesn't seem to care enough to do something about this. More experienced employees leave, because of low salaries, work-life balance issues. Chaos. Sometimes you have to really fight to get all the information you need if you don't know the people who have it. It's possible to get a good salary when you start, but nearly impossible to get a good raise unless you decide to leave. The management at times doesn't understand that 9 women can't give birth to a baby in a month. Work-life balance and job quality will highly depend on the division you'll get into. It can get quite toxic in some circles and the management doesn't always care.
