Pros

Stability, they rarely if ever lay off US-based developers. Easy work.

Cons

Follows waterfall but they just say it's agile. Management plays favorites, and you have to brown nose to get a decent raise/bonus. Doesn't pay market wage. Low growth opportunity. Story points are valued differently by everyone and management pushes to make developers do more points each sprint (which just makes people inflate the points on stories). One-for-one upgrades are basically the only thing and you rarely get to update a product for the business that has even most of what they want. Because management is rushing to check off how many apps THEY got upgraded in a year.
