Pros

Flexible schedule. High pay. Large office.

Cons

Backwards in every other way. All resources are mismanaged. Positions are filled by those who have been hand picked and groomed - no postings made, and no one else is even given opportunity to try. Toxic, competitive culture - no one wants to share their knowledge because they live in perpetual fear of the next round of layoffs. Management is unwilling to invest in infrastructure or software, let alone employee development.
