Pros

Great promotional opportunities if you're in management or looking for opportunistic networking, otherwise none.

Cons

Since our company was acquired it has gone very much downhill, with many of the key important workers leaving and others who didn't deserve to be there ending up in leadership positions. Despite Harris promising not to change the way the company was ran, they have completely destroyed what was once a good and productive company and our customers have very much noticed. The company culture is all based on leadership gratification and they don't actually care about the customers or the staff who actually do the work (but will happily take credit for it). Leadership come and go constantly and unless you're in the SLT and enjoy corporate culture you won't be going anywhere in the company and are just a commodity to use and abuse. If Harris take over your company and you're not the sort of person who likes to appease management or enjoy opportunistic networking, then run, there is no future for you at this company. I've seen hard working staff be let go whilst those that were lazy but friends with other management be given better positions.

Pros

If working remotely, you receive a Dell Precision laptop, which easily rivals higher-end PCs in specifications, etc.

Cons

This is based on my own personal experience with the particular team I was on and therefore may not apply to you. My boss was an off-putting, intimidating jerk who wouldn't hold back from expressing visible annoyance during video calls and so forth. Team members, meanwhile, were just as condescending, asking me insulting questions like whether I know a basic data type a beginning programmer would know, all in spite of how I'd proven my skills through not only some of the contributions I'd "attempted," but moreover the very problem I was asked to solve during the hiring process. Even when we had the "socials" on Friday mornings, no one really cared to hear what I had to share and would talk past me. Shockingly, layoffs are a concerningly common trend, given the fact that this is a "middleman" company that essentially takes on projects from other companies to debug and refactor them. The team would mention these layoffs in snide fashion throughout, shrugging them off as some sort of acceptable given while seeming to look down on those who endure them. I was hired because a software developer had unexpectedly passed away (RIP), only to then be replaced by a friend of an existing coworker through a shameless sign of nepotism—as I was still working there. The boss seemed to even discriminate against my ethnicity when he scoffed at how my native alphabet is written.
