Pros

Local management was great, salary was more than adequate, plenty of interesting work to do, office facilities were very nice and co-workers couldn't be beat.

Cons

Upper management way too beholden to stock holders - while they are important, it's the employees that get them where they need to be and they treat the employees as disposable commodities. People are our greatest asset is really a joke - it should really be 'People who are billable are our greatest asset'.
