Pros

When you actually are good at sales, the bonuses can be really good. And the hours aren't terrible.

Cons

You have to have three months of positive sales in a row to become qualified for a promotion. If you are even .1 below your sales goal one month, you have to start all over. They do not base the promotions on skills other than sales. Someone could be a complete idiot and ruin everything but their sales of the scam "insurance", and they'll still be the first person to get the promotion. The turnover rate is so high that they're spending so much time training new people instead of seeing what they could be doing differently to actually keep their employees.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
