Pros

Managers get company car (if one is left at the end of the day) There is always something that needs to be done (not going to get bored, just burnt out) Most off airport locations are closed on Sunday

Cons

Theme of "its not what you've done but for me but what will you do next?" Upper management try to operate a business a level or more removed from the actual work. Flavor of the day constantly changing. You're treated differently by how you perform- regardless of economic conditions/considerations. Very little instruction if you have any question- management says they're there to help but won't answer calls or instruct you to "figure it out".

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
