Pros

You can make a ton of money doing mandatory overtime.

Cons

No career growth. Bad software engineering practices. Outdated software engineering practices. Super high attrition (both new hires and senior level are leaving in massive numbers). Mandatory overtime for months on end. Impossible deadlines that aren't supported by any of management's metrics. No work life balance. Bad documentation. No unit tests. Engineers have no control over what they do; if you find a bug you're not allowed to fix it.

Bad management

Pros

Interesting work Fair Compensation

Cons

Management and team leaders were very quick to judge and try and push you out if they don't like you. I had one friend who received constant push back on a daily basis and at one point was told to her face by management that she needed to leave. I myself had a team leader that would talk trash behind my back to some of my co-workers and did his best to push me out of the company.
