Pros

The people are typically cool and there seems to be job security. The pay is decent and there are good benefits. No one tracks your every move or micromanages you.

Cons

They literally throw you in the deep end with no guidance or support. The management seems to be totally disconnected from reality of what they expect people to do. Serious inertia to change. No raises or step increase!!
