Pros: Great pay and benefits, fully paid. Snacks, food, amazing office space.

Cons: Old technology. Not big on innovation.

Pros: A great place to work, gain knowledge, and grow.

Cons: Some legacy code had to be maintained.

Pros: Free food, which is not all that great. A monopoly position in its market helps allow for massive wastage of resources (see below).

Cons: Innumerable. Huge bureaucracy, ritualistic, cult-like atmosphere, bizarre Big Brother monitoring everywhere. Does everyone really need to know where and when you badged in and out? Entire teams that do little to nothing. Regular need to tell managers to pi** off when they attempt to bully you. Mind-numbingly boring work. Early 1980s technology hasn't changed a bit. And lastly, now that the owner has returned, having exhausted his political adventure, it is like Odysseus returning to Ithaca, and there will be major lettings go, new joiners first.
