Pros

Good PTO, flexible hours, free coffee, decent work life balance.

Cons

Far less pay than industry average, less than COLA "raises," infrequent promotions to anyone outside of management, cut of fringe benefits and increase in insurances. Company promises promotion but fails to delivery at yearly cycles. Nothing is merit based, only tenure.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
