Pros

Not many positives other than salary

Cons

Toxic culture, old school management that doesn’t care about employees, only care about shareholders. Profits over people. They waste money everywhere but don’t reward their employees for long hours, working weekends and working during holidays. Expectations are extreme, on call availability is just a given.
