Pros

The pay, as a full time employee, is on par with what I expect for teach leads and sr devs

Cons

They micromanage you. They want you on camera so they can watch you. They force you to travel into their office in Maryland no matter where you are located. They ping you every 10 to 15 minutes for a progress update. They have no idea how to build decent software.

Pros

Interesting problems to work on. Good benefits. Decent pay.

Cons

Managers will gaslight you and upper leadership is constantly changing, so expect projects you're working on to be thrown out every 6 months. Many people burn out and quit after some time and are never back filled, so you'll be expected to take on their workload. Some of my colleagues were working 80 hour work weeks to keep up with the work load and yet told they were not performing well enough. There also wasn't much diversity.
