      Pros

      Some good people with high skills Decent salary

      Cons

      Lack of knowledge transfer/sharing - A lot of people play the game well. Lack of on the job training. I'm all for self-starting but had no assistance at all from the get-go. Each unit functions independently, departments are isolated and only focus on themselves. Projects can vary in quaility depending on the skill of the Project Manager involved. Lack of focus on the customer and more on internal SLA/targets
