Pros

Good pay and benefits. The large workload and diversity of tests give great experience, which lead to me netting a good job. Other co-workers give some comeradery.

Cons

It's a meat grinder built to steal your soul. The hours are unreasonable for salaried. If you are singleband don't want a social life it's fine for a while but this job will consume your waking hours. Space is cramped, and everyone is generally crabby due to the extreme top down stress permeating the power structure. Don't just read these words take a look at the unstable stock price over the years that should tell you more that you need to know.
