Pros

Good employer with good work ethics. Good work-life balance.

Flexi-hours. Free snacks. Good rates for contractors. Work-from-home option for full-timers.

Cons

It depends on the team. You might end up doing clerical work day by day, i.e., copying files, checking files, etc., which within a year will lead you from programmer to zero grammar.

Everything is done around the terminal, and it's very difficult to persuade managers to go open source or third-party.

Lots of lads are on H1B, and 'fly under the radar' is a common term, but I guess that is across all tech companies in the US.

Advice to Management

I think terminal sales will stay flat or decline in coming years, so be proactive and diversify.
