Pros

None! If there is anything - it may be flexible timing...you should be 24 hr on call anyway!

Cons

Sweatshop work environment Difficult to demonstrate ownership of work - your time is always divided among different projects Management is useless, does not "devote" as much time as programmers to work, often has no understanding of the work No prospects for growth, no bonus, increments probably if you're ready to be "married" to your job Management keeps asking if you have even a "couple of hours" of time and by that they mean a "couple of hours on top of the 12-14 hours" you're expected to work on a regular basis New hires are not properly onboarded, trained or given a lead time before they're expected to conjure fabulous results over a short timeline Extremely stressfull work environment....stay away unless you don't have any other option!
