Pros

If you hit your numbers you will not be micromanaged. You have to earn the trust from your manager to work your own schedule. If you work hard you will be taken care of.

Cons

Some managers can micromanage... just the luck of the draw.

Pros

- The leadership team is well connected to industry leaders, making it more likely the company will enjoy some success - The technology stack, though cumbersome and flawed, is better than competitive solutions. (Lets face it, enterprise software is not on the cutting edge) - Lots of salty snacks - Cool Halloween parties - Family friendly

Cons

- In order to work on anything remotely interesting or have any idea taken seriously, you have to be vetted by old timers (the trusted lieutenants, the capo-regime). If you aren't, then you will be digging ditches and carrying out the garbage (don't worry, theres a lot of it). Being vetted is inversely proportional to your critical thinking skills. - Your ideas are either a) not good OR b) not your ideas. It will take some time to convince you of this fact, but rest assured, you will be convinced. - The company has strategically decided not to invest in growing/mentoring senior software developers. If you are junior, you will have a path forward. If you are a vetted senior (i.e principal), you can proceed in any which way you like. Good ideas/work are rewarded, bad ideas/poor decisions are washed clean of your name.
