Pros

Flexible hours, work from home allowed.

Cons

Constant changes of strategic direction, frequent changes of CEO, strategies verbalized but not implemented, management focus on process rather than results, processes such as agile forced into the development process while ignoring some of the basic principals such as each person is assigned to only one team at a time or whether the process is appropriate for the work just to satisfy a checkbox for senior management who sees it as a magic bullet to cover their own incompetence without really understanding it, poor management.
