Pros

Good pay to start with.

Cons

No work/life balance. Micromanagement. They do not deal with issues, they just look for scapegoats. No clear reporting chain. Management is narcissistic. Favoritism and politics reign supreme.

Pros

Work-life balance, okay benefits, and cemented impact on the community

Cons

Because the company has a bottom line, promotional paths aren't really a thing beyond individual contributor to manager. I don't know what the next level up would be besides that.
