Pros

The discount(it is limited though) the opportunity of moving up. You get to have your own style.

Cons

Pay is not worth it. They over work you, they tell you 45 hours at the most but you end up working 80+ a week as management. They never give you time off. DM is not willing to help you out when you need it. You work every single weekend and it's impossible to get them off. Expectations are way too high for what they pay you and how they treat you. The benefits are horrible as well.

Pros

Work-life balance is genuinely good. Flexible and not a grind culture.

Cons

Middle management is the weak point. Several managers are promoted developers with no real management training or experience, they know the tech but not how to lead people. Project structure is disorganized and compensation lags behind market rate.
