Pros

Work with some really bright, incredibly hard working people.

Cons

Micromanagement veiled as Communication is leadership. Pay raises are minimal. Little time off especially holidays. Expect you to work and answer emails on vacation. Overtime constantly expected. Leadership dictates every detail with little interaction. Never see higher level management unless a special event.

Pros

Decent pay for the most part

Cons

No raises, no bonuses, as an IC doing every other department is more important. Lots of forced overtime at the last minute.
