Pros

Good pay, flexible hours, learn a lot of soft skills (collaborating, communicating, problem-solving), and learn about how a big organization and infrastructure work.

Cons

False job posting: Despite the job description, this is not a software development position; it is QA. If you want to do any development here, you will need to do it on your own time after the daily work is finished, which rarely happens.

You will need to support a lot of old technology and languages. Scripts which have been around for over 10 years will break, and you are expected to find out where they are and fix them.

If you have a problem that is beyond your level of comprehension, then you will need to go around the office and look for someone to help you solve it.

Advice to Management

Don't lie to employees and tell them this is a software development position when it is 100% QA.
