Pros

small company remote work (but that is becoming more common) pay was ok for me, not sure about everyone else

Cons

ad-hoc and chaotic work structure with constant operational fire fighting, true is virtually non-existent spent years trying to improve and pickup skills and overall make things better, but there's no desire to improve process technology and grow the senior staff (unless they're original team members) despite having skills shortage of senior mw staff, they're solution was ti bring in entry level staff (which was really mind boggling) That and weekly (TPS) excel timesheet weekly report was to much and it was time to move.. unfortunate as I had every intention of retiring there, but just couldn't do it.

Pros

Great benefits. Hybrid schedule (3 days in office, 2 at home) is nice for people who want to switch up the days they go into the office / work from home.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance! Overtime is optional, but managers try to guilt-trip you into working OT. The raise they offered was laughable, and I wasn't the only one who was insulted by it. Management is incredibly petty. I also sat through many conversations, started by a leader, surrounding politics and religion. If you're in the annual reports department, it is incredibly difficult to get out. I saw many people try to get into other departments only to be blocked each time. If you're in a satellite office, they will forget about you! They only care about the DE offices.
