Pros

Don't have to work over 40 hours (sometimes it's needed, but so rarely). Competitive pay. Depending on the team, your work environment can be really great.

Cons

No 401k match for the first year.

Policies are old-fashioned. There's very little flexibility to work from home. Most other companies wine and dine their engineers, but it's not like that here. We are an expense; the bankers make the money.

My direct manager lies, manipulates, and threatens to fire everyone on our team on a regular basis. It's definitely an isolated issue, and most aren't like that.
