Pros

This probably varies greatly depending on the team, but its a pretty low stress place to work, not much micromanagement, co-workers are generally great to work with.

Cons

Benefits and wages are average at best. Advancement is practically non-existent, the company would rather bring in outside talent rather than prepare existing employees to move up. Red tape is very thick. Job will be farmed out to a low cost country if its practical to do so, or outsourced entirely.
