You will work with very smart people, several of whom are on the C++ standards library committee. The free food is good. The 731 Lexington office's location is an easy commute from just about anywhere.

Development is panic or bugfix driven, so you won't get time to plan or improve. If you have that development style for 30 years, this is the root cause of the other cons.

There is no project management to speak of. The build process is time-consuming and not automated. The technology is old. You can download freely available libraries/tools that are better than what's mandated internally.

If you want greater uptime, less bugs, and higher employee retention, take the time to fix the development process.

Pushing half-baked projects out the door and then relying on them for mission-critical functions is demoralizing.
