The respect shown by management is very poor. They will insult you in every way and ridicule you

Pros

Free chips and soda. If you work long hours and work for 1.5 persons' man-hours, you will get a 10k bonus.

Cons

They make you work 10 to 12 hours and pay only 8 hours for consultants. The architecture is crappy. Any one line of Java code you change, and since you're using free Jetty, it takes 30 minutes to build the project. Why can't they use WebSphere/RAD, which picks up hot deployment automatically? I wonder if the great mayor knows about these bad practices. Somebody should take action.

No balance between work-life and personal life.

Advice to Management

Respect employees and do not insult them by saying, "You are a senior developer and you should not have any Maven/Jetty build issues." Using Jetty is like a cheap company. Use RAD/WebSphere for hot deployment and faster development.
