Pros

Work with smart, driven people Great benefits Fairly competitive pay

Cons

Many coworkers would code for fun outside of work or work outside of normal business hours, and it made me feel like I'd never be able to keep up because I wanted a life outside of work. Management changed my role responsibilities to security, which I wasn't interested in, and they did not provide sufficient support to help me get up to speed.
