Pros
Pro Industry standard

Pro Combining powerful, realistic rendering with ease of use
Arnold is now the default interactive renderer, which can be found in the render settings. Solid Angle's global illumination ray tracer is used by many Hollywood studios.

Cons
Con Poorly organized interface
The menu organization doesn't make sense, and leaves you searching all over the place for functions that should fall under one category. For example, the option to bake your animation isn't under the Animation menu.

Maya is not significantly better than other 3D modeling packages in any way, despite the common retort, "It's the industry standard". It has no actual advantage over other 3D software at all, and is way over-priced.
