Pros

Money is good and if you include their retention bonus darn good. Get to learn latest greatest but not worth it.

Cons

Hours are crazy > 12 hours or your boss thinks you are lazy. Military like work, every day cases to finish and to reviewed by your boss and follow-ups to complete that night. Micromanaged to the max, no trust or respect for the individual. Everyone that can is trying to leave.
