Pros

Great benefits, fantastic people, great managers, work from home available, very nice offices/facility

Cons

There is no such thing as working 40 hours for your salary, at minimum 50 but usually 60. Work almost every night and most weekends to meet insane deadlines. Burnout is high. No work-life balance.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
