Pros

Good pay. Good benefits. Nice office and desk. Free food and drinks. Looks good on your resume.

Cons

If you get bullied and you complain, it is YOU that will be written up or fired.

If you get a good team, you will have a lot of fun; if not, you will hate it.

Often, your team leader is inexperienced and will see you as a threat.

Incredibly long hours, partly due to the archaic technology.

The programmer gets the blame and the manager takes the credit.

Never, ever, ever complain to HR. Once you have a target on your head, you will be forced out. You will see this happening to others.

Advice to Management

Monitor the team leaders' performance more, and disallow them to blame a programmer. Too often, the team leaders are incompetent.
