Pros

Excellent location (if you are working in San Diego).

Flexibility to come at whatever time you like (up to 11 AM, though).

May do work from home.

Cons

Long working hours. Cannot leave early at all; will be working till very, very late. Lot of fire-fighting to meet crazy customer release schedules. No rewards for general people who work.

Advice to Management

Value people and let them work less and efficiently, rather than putting pressure to work long hours. As every other person and your manager seem to work long hours, this puts added pressure to work long hours.
