Pros

Manageable work life balance, the people are generally friendly and understanding. The benefits, base salary are good for the geographic region.

Cons

There should be LTI packages for Directors and up at the hiring event. Many public tech companies are immediately giving RSU packages to all or most new hires. This creates a barrier for bringing in talent where Year 1 is a significant pay drop even with the promise of potential LTI incentives after year 1. The company moves slow internally due to regulatory concerns and many employees have long tenure so you have to battle the "this is the way it's always been done" mentality.
