Pros

Good people to work with at the peer level.

Cons

Refusal to pay for proper tooling. Refusal to do things right. No coordination between various aspects of engineering. Security organization is out of control. Encouraging practices that lead to tight coupling, high-touch manual processes, and fragility. CTO is openly derisive of employees and labor in general. CTO is on the Jack Welch plan: slash costs by making everything worse and then leave before the problems caused catch up to them.
