Pros

Simple and easy work with little interference from management as long as you can work to targets. You can listen to music/podcasts/audiobooks to pass the time as the role doesn't require much thinking. I was lucky to work in multiple countries as it's a global organisation.

Cons

Very low salary compared to other companies

Pros

Great people, good benefits, the company tends to promote from within. It's nice to work for a company that's growing, delivering a great product, and actively improving its systems so tomorrow's product will be even better than today's.

Cons

More organizational disruption than would be ideal. The internal joke is that if it's been more than 6 months since the last re-org you shouldn't get too attached to your desk because everyone's likely to be moving before long.
