Pros

no pros, this place sucks except coworkers, we all bonded over how bad management was

Cons

poor management and company organization, difficult to work with, make promises with customers but never talk with engineering, then force us to work overtime to meet promises, and after deployment, project is suddenly dead in the water and rolled back, highly incompetent senior management +
