Pros

Laid back, some coworkers are nice, good benefits

Cons

Poor pay, management plays favorites, company is too large to perform smart, coordinated technical changes. So much technical debt, and nobody gets fired for wasting time or adding to technical debt. It's like there aren't actual design reviews at the top. New hires have a high attrition rate, and internal transfers don't work. I've witnessed 7 different internal transfers fall through because of the process, and many were after they "revamped" it.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

Cons

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
