Pros

Compensation was average to what the market in the area would support. Work/Live balance was better than average as I could take an hour or so for an appointment knowing that I could make up the time later.

Cons

Wolverine could write the book on micro-managing IT employees. Successes were never yours, but failures were. This bread a culture of fear of making mistakes. The Management Principles said "dare to risk what the company can tolerate". Unfortunately it is a zero tolerance policy most of the time, but it depended on who you were. Some could make mistakes and seem to suffer not repercussions. While others got the hammer dropped on them.

Workaholic culture

Pros

Nice people, good benefits, people bring their dogs to work.

Cons

A serious lack of work-life balance. The office ostensibly had flexible hours, meaning that you were welcome to start your workday as early as 6:30am or as late as 9am, but that hardly mattered when 50+ hour work weeks were the norm. In addition to long days at the office, most employees took work home on evenings and weekends, which was encouraged by management. In fact, the company pays for everyone's phone, which I thought was a benefit until I realized it's because they want you to check email on your personal time. The workaholic culture burned me out in under a year, and when another opportunity came up I pounced on it. Hopefully things at WWW have improved since 2012.
