Pros

Engineering culture is quite good, and people are generally really good to work with and responsive to design and changes that impact them. Leadership has a good idea of what it wants, but sometimes that does get lost in the trickle-down to engineers. Salary and benefits are both good, and opportunities for advancement are readily available.

Cons

Work-life is generally good, but with the recent AI mania and speed of development, this is taking a bit of a hit. I don't think the company has quite found the right balance yet of extracting value from AI-powered employees without overloading the employees and generating burnout.
