Pros

- It's stable - No matter what the stocks say the financials are strong - decent pay and work - not too many unnecessary hirings leading to layoffs

Cons

- Not good legal and PR team else the stock would have been in a better position. Too many people hate the company - too much tech debt and many legacy or old systems that need to be build from scratch or atleast need to be simplified
