Pros

Well paid in my location. Nice office.

Cons

Huge bureaucracy and partially non-working processes. You need to have strong informal relationships to setup back-doors for delivering things in a timely fashion. Teams contain engineers with extremely different level of skills, but tasks are allocated randomly not in alignment with the skills. Not enough QAs. Thanks to this environment, a code quality could be much better. Fast delivery instead of elaborate design is everywhere. "Agile methodologies" on a paper, chaotic development in reality. As a result, the work is looking more and more as fighting with fire.
