Pros

* Lots of good people * Except for product deployments, the work/life balance for software developers is good

Cons

* Management tries, but that's not to say they succeed * Not a place for those with ambitions * Too many managers considering the number of developers * Management focused on share price, not exploiting their early successes in what is becoming a competitive marketplace * Not much vision * Caretaking in place of Leadership

Pros

Great collaboration with highly professional colleagues who truly care about teaching and education. Work remotely.

Cons

Insufficient training for the many responsibilities of the position. Insufficient follow-up from the upper administration on said responsibilities. Workload increased to levels that made completion of said workload difficult (with putting in extra hours without added compensation) to basically impossible. Difficult to change roles (at least, in my position). Many additional hours away from the classroom, which greatly disrupted educational continuity.
