Business Outlook

Pros

Mostly friendly good people to work with (some bad apples that proliferate). Flexible scheduling. Free sodas and Wednesday bagels.

Cons

Work many many weekends. Deliverables expectations are far reaching in a small time period. Work/life is inconsistent -- either relatively lax for 3 months or crazy busy for 6. Ladder climbers proliferate.
