Pros

If you search out the projects, you may get to work on some interesting software technologies. Unfortunately, none ever see the light of day (i.e., customer use).

In general, the pay is above average.

For those employees who contribute nothing to company income or morale, the pay is extremely generous.

Cons

Innovation is frowned upon.

I have seen incredibly poorly designed and written code praised just because it was done by a senior developer, and obstinate hurdles put in the way of trying to fix it.

There is a nonsense competition to appear to be productive.
