Pros

Best social benefits in the area, pay slightly above average in the area.

One can maintain decent work-life balance there.

Cons

Really uptight project management, not leaving any space for personal initiative in the project execution besides patent applications, which usually scarcely relate to everyday job. The meager reward system does not motivate to go above and beyond. Doing such is most often punished with more work, and not in a "more interesting things you can leverage to grow" way, but more like "more mundane everyday struggle against the machine." To be fair, I need to mention however that you can get a very small monetary reward for such.

The sloppy performance review system rewards slackers. It is really easy to not actually do anything and still get high praise on a performance review.
