Pros

Good technology, interesting problems to work on.

Cons

The ratio of demands to rewards is high.

There are either minimal or zero raises, a minimal bonus at best, and no profit sharing.

There's a generally high-pressure atmosphere at all levels of management.

A typical expectation is being online and available at all hours of the day and on weekends.

Advice to Management

If you're going to expect so much out of people, at least compensate them fairly.
