Pros

Colleagues are generally very intelligent and good to work with. Reasonable working hours. Get on the right project and there is some challenging and interesting work. Legacy Detica still well known and respected, which opens doors.

Cons

Get on the wrong project and you'll be stuck doing mind-numbing tasks. Business is moving away from interesting custom solutions towards 'out of the box products' (configuring these is one of the mind-numbing task previously mentioned). Pay isn't great.
