Pros

1. Interesting work. The projects I am working on are very interesting. They present an interesting problem space for software engineers. 2. Very chill atmosphere at the office. I am a hybrid employee. I go into the office a few times a week. The office is a really great place to work. Everyone is nice. 3. Excellent coworkers. The majority of my colleagues are really great. There are a few that are not so great, but it's impossible to be perfect in this regard. 4. Stable company. The senior executives have a good understanding of the times we are in. There is a lot of change happening with the decline of cable, and they are working hard to keep the company successful and competitive.

Cons

1. Salary is slightly lower than market prices in my area 2. My manager is an extreme micro manager (a nano manager). I have talked to some of my colleagues about it. It seems like everyone has just accepted it. I really don't feel like there is anything that can be done about it. 3. Adversarial relationship with other teams. Teams are constantly at each other's throats. There is a lot of inappropriate bashing of other teams. Nobody knows/cares how other teams' systems work. They just know that the other teams system is horrible and that their own system is perfect.
