Pros

Good talented people; hard working teams. Benefit of being able to work from home (which is also a con when management doesn't respect home life).

Cons

Lots of morale issues. Engineers are all burned out. There is no work life balance. Upper management expects you to work 60-70 hours nights and weekends to complete projects with impossible deadlines. And when that project is done another project with another impossible deadline begins. Numerous times employees have been told to cancel vacations or work holidays (chirstmas and thanksgiving) in order to complete projects that management change on the fly (scope-creep) without extending deadlines. In the rare event that deadlines are extended management doubles the delivery scope rationalizing that they extended the time. The company follows a agile scrum process but it has become a joke. Developers estimates are simply ignored and management tells you how long it "should" take and to get it done by that time because it was promised to the client.
