Pros

Pays great. Five-word minimum.

Cons

This is a great place to retire to. Everyone is unoffended and smiles and laughs at each other's jokes.

Everyone's foibles go unnoticed and unforgiven. Nothing is particularly planned lest you be perceived as managing. Responsibility is distributed and blame, what is blame?

The company that was here was mostly gone 4 years ago and is gone now. This is IBM in the 1970s: pays great, you can do meaningful things, but it's old enough that there are 4 people who will hate you for doing anything meaningful you do, and you will never advance beyond a level or two in your career, and this is only if you are very lucky.
