Pros

The technology is neat. What boy/girl doesn't enjoy working with old and new fashioned walkie-talkies? Pay is decent. A great place to be if you want a 9-5 job lost in a large paralyzed corporation doing only what you are told to do.

Cons

Non-developers discourage developers from straying from a strict Scrum process in the belief that this makes the company Agile, but really just results in grinding development to a halt and code to rot. All incentives to work hard and innovate have been removed. Management discourages and punishes pointing out inefficiencies and coming up with ways to improve them.

Pros

I highly value the autonomy I am given to manage my own workload, and I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with several of my talented colleagues.

Cons

That independence comes at a cost. The company is incredibly disorganized and siloed. Management will force lateral moves on you without asking; I've ended up balancing four different roles with absolutely no pay increase. Requests for fair compensation compared to the peers I trained were completely ignored. Territories change constantly, but zero training is provided. You are essentially left entirely on your own to figure it out.
