Pros

Okay work life balance. Good benefits.

Cons

Awful management. Senior Leadership has no idea what they are doing Senior leadership are not close with any of their workers No room for promotion or career growth Bad compensation compared to market trends Do your job, don't be imaginative, decent is good enough. Don't cost the company money, they need money. Senior leadership appoints their friends to positions that they aren't qualified for, so product quality and team morale goes downhill. Management cares about saving face rather than doing the right thing for their client base.

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.
