Pros

The work is very interesting and very rewarding. The direct coworkers are by and large great to work with as well

Cons

Firefly, with few notable exceptions, promotes the wrong people to management, truly being emblematic of the Peter Principle (rising to a respective level of incompetence) Upper Management agrees to unrealistic timelines without consulting the actual workers Middle Management is inconsistent at best at telling upper management the timelines don't work, which leaves the actual workers to tell them. However, when the workers do, the managers are also inconsistent about shielding them from the blow-back. Unprofessional behavior is not just accepted, but often rewarded if you're in the "in group"

Pros

You will be paid for showing up. You will also be paid the same regardless of whether you are the top performer or the lowest performer.

Cons

They are going to do what they want, so being cautious is probably the best approach. Avoid coming in too aggressively or standing out too much, because being overly strong at your job can end up making you a target within the department. If you strongly value ethics and fairness, this may not be the right environment for you.
