Pros

Average work load/ life balance. Mostly transparent.

Cons

Pay is depended on the project/team you're with and not as competitive as other IT companies in the same area. Typical business company, when hiring software dev/engineer, manager hire people without technical knowledge. Some people are unable to perform the job/role function effectively, thus others have to compensate for the work. Promotion feels like its based on how much you talk/complain to others instead of how much you contribute or the quality of your work.
