Pros

Good group of people. Benefits are good and there are some decent opportunities there. Used to be a very good place to work with a focus on employees.

Cons

Work life balance and high stress. Poor decision making means unrealistic project deadlines often working just-in-time. This leads to poor job satisfaction and poor quality. Employees are no longer valued.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
