Pros

Some great people A lot of exposure, get to experience things out of my comfort zone Allocations of Increments, promotions and bonuses within the department are fair (although the pool from which they are allocated is rather meager)

Cons

Extremely process and paperwork intensive A lot of unnecessary pains and waste of time due to insufficient underlying tools or poorly trained support personnel decade old technologies Not a conducive environment to cultivate software engineering talent Constant fire-fighting and support duties which distract me away from working on permanent/long-term solutions

Pros

Great benefits and work/life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Having a bad manager dictates everything about your job. You will see no upward mobility or compensation improvement if you are under a poor manager.
