Pros

Has good work-life balance. More engineers with average talent, so opportunities to stand out. Comparatively stable company, so better job security.

Cons

Less opportunities for innovation and to work on latest technologies. More maintenance work with legacy stack of code than new development. Unorganized development environment, i.e., lack of updated documentation or knowledge sharing processes; more knowledge stays in people's heads.
