Software Developer • Current Employee

Pros: Lots of freedom. Generally speaking, you can change teams whenever you get bored. You can even change job roles entirely if you can meet the requirements.
Benefits are, generally speaking, really good. Base vacation is a bit low but offset with a sabbatical program available every 5 years.
Fun work for the most part. Most of the company is dedicated to transitioning to the web (as of 2018), so you may need to know or at least read VB6. However, for how big the company is, they do well at utilizing new technology.
Cons: Expectations are often times far too high. The average work week is expected to be around 50 hours (though you can talk this down, but you must be willing to do so).
Projects tend to have arbitrary deadlines. If the project manager is not tech-savvy or does not know the domain, hour estimates are widely off. But if they are too low, deadlines set on those timeframes are still expected to be met.
