Pros

Work-life balance is the only pro.

Cons

No 401k. If you are part of a strong team, there's a high chance you will be marked as a low performer and then be laid off.

Advice to Management

A new policy to identify 15% low performers is traumatic for a good engineer, especially if the rest of the team is strong with their experience.
