UNIX Systems Administrator
Pros: Clients have very large, potentially interesting hardware and software deployments. Custom IBM hardware that's administred is very nice. Work from home policies are very lax.
Cons: Excessive, dehumanizing processes for absolutely everything. Multiple layers of bureaucracy slow down work. Extremely narrow area of focus. Communications with the customer are handled through multiple layers of people. Quality of surrounding employees varies widely. On-call rotations are frequent and can be exhausting.
