Pros

Good people for the most part. My group tries to have flexible work days and telecommuting but there just doesn't seem to be 100% buy-in by Sr. Mgmt. Lots of responsibility if you want it.

Cons

Culture can be difficult to get used to. Pay is well below similar positions at other companies and benefits are more costly. Lots of technical issues even though they claim to be tech savvy. My area is very production oriented so there isn't much work/life balance. Not enough time in the day to get all the work done. Not enough vacation time for mid-career hires but it doesn't really matter when most managers and above end up working most of their vacations.
