Pros

Good benefits such as 401K matching, good health coverage, flex time. Also many discounts such as mobile phone service, banking, etc.

Cons

Poor working conditions including working past midnight, being denied lunch or dinner, working without heating or air conditioning, working more than 7 days in a row. The work week is supposedly 35 hours, but even if one is coerced into working 70 hours a week, there is no overtime pay, no bonus, no raise, and no thank you. The use of many short-term employees is expensive and drains valuable time. There is no training for new employees and many projects run into roadblocks as a result of inexperienced individuals who, through no fault of their own, cannot do what is expected of them.

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.
