Pros

- Good benefits and pay - On call if you want to make some extra money on the side by waking up in the middle of the night.

Cons

- Many job openings require “No education” so those are going to be your colleagues - Almost everyone is building APIs, not only that they are using technologies that are 10’s of years old and at times even reinventing the reinvented wheel - Useless teams have on-call, nothing more than wasting company money - Absolutely no one cares about design - People working at the company for last 20 years look at you with surprise if you ask them for design docs (coz there are none), so that their job is secure

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