Pros

Interesting projects and fun company culture. Also some very knowledgeable and helpful team members

Cons

No work-life balance, and consecutive weekends spent working from home or in office, or on call, months at a time. Little to no recognition for the hard work you put in, and definitely no tangible rewards.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
