Pros

- Coffee machine - You might get your computer after a few months - Free lunch end of sprint - Nice burgers nearby

Cons

When the list of tool can be counted one one hand and does not include git. When it takes years to get a good idea implemented. When many folks dont understand what REST is and how building an application should be done. When you thrust offshore people with no expertise to take technical decisions. When the company is crumbled with people in key role with not enough technical experience to assume their positions. You get Sunlife financial, the company where you can never get anything done.
