Pros

The job in of itself is pretty standard. We have our sprint meetings weekly, sprints usually go for 2 weeks. There is flexibility with WFH or going into the office. Pay is reasonable, stock options, bonus, annual review cycles.

Cons

If as an engineer you make changes that bring in more revenue (by let's say lowering the cost to manufacture a device) you don't see a difference in your pay which doesn't incentivise going above and beyond.

Pros

Fantastically little manager oversight. I hate being micromanaged. Give me some direction and let me work. In this way, it is great. I contract through a staffing agency, who I also never talk to. A dream. Pay is good. Expectations are low (which could be a con for some).

Cons

There is really no manager guidance, and hardly any feedback. Managers aren't allowed to meet regularly with contractors. Very hierarchical. Super slow task initiation. SUPER slow implementation. Like a six-month to one-year dev backlog. Not a good fit if you're hungry and a change-agent and live to make work processes better. Did I say slow? I meant glacial. And tribal/political. And scrumfall dysfunction. Other than that, it's great.
