Pros

The office is clean, well-lit, and relatively quiet as a result of the fact that most of the cubes in the labyrinthine maze sit empty. The pay and benefits are adequate.

Cons

Heavy reliance on Indian vendors. Confusion of roles and lack of processes to keep the wheels from coming off during the busier times. Hard to work in an atmosphere of general frustration, confusion, and chaos. Sometimes the human element is ignored in favor of the bottom line. Constant fear of layoffs/restructuring.

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.
