Pros

Ability to work from home, reasonable compensation, ability to grow and advance career.

Cons

Management talks like it cares about it people, but actions say otherwise. Regularly destroying teams that have been set up and compartmentalizing jobs. there is a contrived sense of culture and team here, and you are asked to take on a decent sized workload.
