Pros

- Layoffs are rare - Benefits are good - Remote work possible

Cons

- Pay is low - Management lacks professionalism, too much focus on their personal goals and little focus on shared goals - Tech stack is behind and corporate policies make it very difficult to keep it up to date - Very little application of software architecture knowledge. You're more likely to see an archaic approach suited to the manager's comfort than a more modern approach suited to the application requirements - rampant nepotism in hiring and promotion. There is no objective clear path for career advancement

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
