Pros: If you are an employee, then you're treated fairly well.

Cons: The business does not listen to technology people. My team became more productive during the 2020 work from home. The 2021 kerfuffle and lack of planning only caused stress among the tech staff, as dates and times for return to office changed on a whim. What really gets me is how management DOES NOT CARE about you. Many people rightfully complained that it is difficult to schedule their lives around a constantly changing return to office schedule. Instead of doing anything, there was a mass email basically saying 'thanks for complaining, deal with the stress and stop bothering us'. Cultural stuff - I was on a line of business call with our leaders and found out the hard way that they really do not care about mental health or the LGBTQ+ community. I brought up the fact that several mental health conditions would cause people to struggle with a rotating office schedule, and a fixed one would be better. I was hoping for either the fixed schedule or a recommendation to use an internal mental health resource, at least lip service. Instead, I was told that everyone has to deal with their own problems and find your own help. It took until after I put in my 2-week notice and they were hemorrhaging tech talent before they actually gave people mental health resources to help transition out of the pandemic. Also, if you are a contractor, you are at best a second-class citizen.

Pros: Good pay and good benefits.

Cons: Long hours and need to be in the office 3 days.

Pros: Work-life balance, work culture.

Cons: You should be strong enough to defend yourself, especially if you're at a junior level. Senior level management simply tries to blame juniors, even if there was a mistake from the BSA level.
