Pros

If you're FTE, you'll have great benefits and will be supported.

Cons

Too many contractors and H1B visa workers.

You will be asked to work uncompensated overtime to make up for poor planning.

Pitted against other workers by management that incentivizes the wrong behaviors.

Threats of retaliation for expressing criticism.

High turnover.

Old technology.

Advice to Management

Get rid of managers that create a toxic work environment. Results should be measured for quality, not just speed. Adopt an agile approach where deliverables are well defined and use time-boxed iterations to track and manage output.
