Pros

In a way, you make the experience what you want, if you're a go-getter and aggressive and fit in. Sometimes management is very human, but now when it comes to work.

Cons

If you just do a great job alone, you'll probably be taken advantage of and burn out. The management is out of touch with what goes on every day and the resources needed to accomplish a goal. The schedules are made very unrealistic then slowed down tremendously through bureaucracy, inefficiency, and old-fashioned methods. Downsizing when successful and trying to squeeze every last drop of blood out of hardworking employees who care while the rest skate by is bad. The pay is terrible, nobody can define processes or can make decisions, and the work is uncreative and unrewarding.

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.
