Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Free snacks & coffee are appreciated but limited. Initial training is very well constructed.

Cons

Salary and bonus are very bad for the area. Almost no chance for promotions or raises. Ancient codebase doesn't fit in with a "modern" company. Everything is proprietary so there are 0 transferrable skills. Join for a good name on a resume, but leave before you get sucked in. Name recognition is the only good takeaway while working here.
