Pros

Access to new and innovative technologies. Great people to work with.

Cons

Not all new and innovative technologies are good. There's no real time to really hash out the new technologies. Upper management are too hell bent on rolling out the product that they don't provide the time to go back and fix serious issues before they go live, even though the engineers inform them of such. Micro-management is all over. While on conference call, engineers have been yelled at by CIO. Never a good experience and should never happen.

Pros

Contracts with our suppliers and customers have been renegotiated over the past several years. The resulting contracts have created a great potential for expansion and a need for analytic and software staff. Limited work from home is sometimes available. Good vacation benefits. Decent year-end bonus in recent years.

Cons

As is many corporations, managers are wooed and hired while the production level gets overloaded and offshored. Project schedules are set optimistically to meet contract needs, but staff is not added to produce. Significant free overtime is expected and commonplace. Salaries at hire are good, but promotion below management level is designed to be difficult and pay raises almost non-existent. A significant number of employees "boomerang" out to other companies then come back. Project management is very weak and in fear of reporting any problems to management.
