Pros

Benefits are just above average

Cons

I can only speak to IT at this company. There I heard time after time that sub-standard software provided by consultants had to be moved along through test and into production because failure to do so would make a VP "look bad". The result, as one might expect, were long nights of no sleep attending to on-call support.
