Pros

You can work remotely. Free coffee and fruit at the office. Free certifications (Azure, AWS, etc.).

Cons

You get hired to work as a Java/.Net developer, forced to do Azure certifications, then end up working on nothing more than obsolete SQL engine builds and entire infrastructure from 2010 (Oracle SQL/ODI with Windows XP, for example).

Managers say that there’s availability for another project, and you just have to wait a couple of weeks. However, this is nothing but a lie, since they constantly “forget” to handle your new project reallocation in the right timeframe. This leads to the manager saying, “There are going to be another opportunity soon.” This cycle repeats until you say you’re quitting, and then magically, there’s another project for you.

The same logic applies to raises. Only when you say you’re quitting do they offer a raise.
