Pros

Great choice of food Good choice of coffee Possibility to work a few hours per day and still meet or exceed expectations.Nice place to start your career (in the wrong way)

Cons

mediocre middle management. Huge technical debt and still increasing steadily as this is not a tech company. This makes being able to work productively very hard and often impossible. Over Engineered and fragmented infrastructure. Recruiters have sick incentives. No sense of ownership/accountability.
