Pros

Flexible work environment. I worked from home as did the rest of my team. We were scattered among cities throughout the US.

Cons

No real sense of team. Managing a virtual team is difficult, especially when you can't get together in person that often. Working from home is great, but it should be balanced with (maybe) monthly in person meetings? The office politics were awful. During "OpEx" decisions were made to let people in closed door gossip sessions that reminded me of fraternity and sorority "black ball" sessions. Not enough focus on results based projects, more focus on political aspects of the persons' career. It made me uncomfortable to be a part of.
