Pros

Need something, they’ll get it for you.

Cons

Long hours. Upper management and politics gets in the way of getting the work done. Management is more worried about perception than their employees. Put in your two weeks, they’ll terminate you without pay. Horrible work life balance. Horrible morale due to everything listed above.
