Pros

People can be kind and when things go wrong a lot of people band together to fix it

Cons

Management perpetually sells false narratives and are dodgy about everything, there's many people leaving the company due to layoffs, restructuring, and poor management, all knowledge is 'tribal knowledge' and it's nearly impossible to find information on your work, engineers are expected to do the work of every other department and get blamed for everyone else's mistakes, business solutions engineering are made to make impossible things sold by solutions development to work, people who do petty or inappropriate things don't see immediate repercussions, there's many pointless processes that have been added to the business that makes things take longer and becomes more frustrating, overtime has been cut to no longer being paid, but you're still expected to work overtime until things are finished with no compensation.
