Pros

Free food and decent work-life balance.

Cons

Initial software onboarding is an entire month that doesn't teach you what you need for your role. The team I ended up on is pretty toxic, with everyone either trying to climb the ladder or completely checked out. Nobody is willing to help teach anything, and there is no documentation to learn. Most of my team has left, and I haven't had a manager for half the time I've been here. I don't know if anyone knows I exist, and I'm not sure what I should be working on. I've never had a job like this, and I can't wait for my one year to be over so I can leave.
