Pros

9/80 work week gives you every other Friday off. This is invaluable for doctor/banking/whatever that requires you to be there during the work week. Good pay Interesting work (usually)

Cons

It is rare that anyone works more than one thing at a time -- usually for several years. So "new and exciting" can become "routine and boring". Managers get promoted based on the success of their teams. This may sound logical at first, but I have seen some very good leaders held back because they were assigned to impossible programs. Worse, GOOD team members get nothing while their incompetent "leader" gets promoted because of the work of the minions. Don't expect to get promoted because of excellent work. I am baffled every year when I see bad engineers get promoted while the good ones get a 3% raise and nothing else. Tucson is a one horse town. If you want to look for a different job, you have to sell your house and move to another city or state. Innovation is dangerous. Management preaches innovation, but is so scared of anything new that they force you to so things the same way they've been done on every program since the 80's (or older) Promotions and raises are determined by people who don't even know what the individual contributors are doing.

Pros

1) Relaxed environment 2) Work hour flexibility

Cons

1) Poor management and bureacracy 2) Bad culture - endorses slackers rather than the hard working 3) Slow career growth - If you want your career to be on the fast-track, then I don't recommend this company 4) outdated technology 5) Convoluted requirements - Please make sure you have the requirements down and pat before issuing work to the engineers. I found myself spending half my time trying to find someone who actually understands the requirements, and the other half of my time working. 6) Don't really care about employees - they will ignore all the good work you've done, and focus exclusively on the mistakes you've made.
