Pros

Nice people, depending on your team Good bonus and retirement matching Ample vacation time if you can take it

Cons

Overall the company is undergoing a massive reorg, and this trickles down to a lot of uncertainty and lack of clarity for teams. Functional, this stops good work from being done while awaiting marching orders. Overall, it's a great place to start and build skills but as others have said - don't stay long!
