Pros

There was a lot to like. The work is interesting, there's a lot of smart people, and I learned a LOT. If this is your first job out of college and you want to work a LOT, then great. If you have a family, don't work here.

Cons

Everyone worked 60 hours a week or more and they'll expect you to work the same. I would get guidance from my manager on what he wanted me to be working on over the weekends. 10pm conference calls are routine. And pager duty is a nightmare. I got to watch my young son cry because I was working too much. That was it, I got out. I looked at transferring, so I talked to my manager about it. The next day he put me on probation to stop it.
