Pros

Work from home. Great people. Development opportunities are wide ranging. Work is fair with respects to load and complexity.

Cons

Transitions are horrible, often people are working 2 jobs for long periods of time. Organization spreads its people thin, there could be more structure and narrower scope of duties. Sometimes it is not clear what resources we have, there are many but we have to dig for them... sometimes they are not there at all.
