Pros

-decent pay and free beverages

Cons

-horrible work life balance: 24x7x365 expectations -very politically charged. Had management take me aside, close the door, then tell me they were going to do everything possible to ruin my life because they didn't like my personality. When I asked how I could change my behavior (and what behaviors were offensive), I was dismissed (make sure there's always a second person in the room). -outdated technology. I'm a user now. The system is terrible.
