Pros

Fine lunches. Big and nice office

Cons

Very outdated technologies. The principal and senior developers don't use Swift. All is done with 10 years old technologies. The manager and principal intimidate all the time. Very political. I worked on an important system and senior devs just stopped development because they didn't want competition. I found another job and now sleep well. Be careful because you will be working on very old and outdated technologies with updates. Some seniors don't developer at all they control other developers and make political games such as different policies and tons of meetings.
