Pros

Certainly keeps you on your toes.. Being a manager helps you think outside the box on a daily basis. Fast paced environment keeps you conscious of everything that's going on. Helps you hone in on multi-tasking

Cons

Overworked. Took a paycut to become a manager, salary-wise. They add the "free car/insurance/gas" as a perk, but that doesn't help when you're encouraged to rent every single car every day, and you close your office with no vehicle to drive home, or are left with a compact to drive for the weekend, with a family to try to stuff in it. It also doesn't help that we haven't been getting paid our commission checks in months. It sucks. I could take it until I realized I'm not getting paid. I've lost all confidence in upper management. We're not given the resources to do our jobs (no cars... Understaffed) and yet we have to exceed goals. I'm being pushed to my limit.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
