Pros

Flexible working hours. Decent pay - not the best by a long shot though.

Cons

Work load is not challenging, just time consuming. I could have done my current job straight out of high school. Why did I go to school for 4 more years? Management style is terrible across the board. A company that touts caring for their employees, and in general shows it through benefits, should be able to demonstrate decent management. Nepotism. If you have a spouse and are being relocated, the company will find them a job, likely within the company. Some might see this as a pro - I see it as a major ethical issue and am disgusted by it.

Pros

Interesting problems and good access to latest tools to do the job. Motivated coworkers

Cons

Upper management is absurdly disconnected from doing anything remotely valuable. They are useless. All vision and innovation comes from the lowest levels. We really don't need directors and above at this company - they take large salaries and promote the idiots instead of the innovators.
