Pros

Decent humans to work with. "OK" bonus pay is achievable.

Cons

Too many obscure QA rules. Systems are terrible putting a lot of potential mistakes in your lap when they should follow their own policies and procedures. PTO policy also sucks. Senior management rating is referencing C-Suite and VPs/directors.
