Pros

Excellent salary and benefits. Frequent open bar events and annual trip to a resort for a weekend. Good experience in dealing with the client for requirements analysis and testing.

Cons

Must be willing to move across the country with very little notice or be fired. At my current site there is very little team loyalty and the feeling of disposability of employees, although many other sites have a more positive work environment. You will often be over-worked, leading to a lack of work life balance. A large focus of the company events is alcohol. If you do not drink you will have trouble fitting in with others and it will limit your career. A large number of the tools you will be using are developed in-house and so learning to use them will not be a skill transferable to other future jobs in your career.

Pros

- Multi-million-dollar projects, great resume item to have. - Small company - chance to do a variety of things. - Lots of responsibilities. - Great "fun" job if you are single, and a male. - Starting salary is phenomenonal! Great salary adjustments, but salary adjusts down if you plan to have a family and settle down in one location.

Cons

- Good benefits on health care, but poor dental care plan. - Low vacation days; does not 'grow' with years of employment. - Long hours compensated with straight pay, NOT overtime pay (like others suggested). - Lots and lots of drinking events, be prepared to socialize at work and afterwork with the same people, otherwise it's a "CLM" (career limiting move). - Coworkers are divided into 3 groups (1) awkard and nerdy ones, (2) normal folks just here for a job and (3) cult followers whom religiously suck up to company managers and partners. Category (3) is the majority. - Flat organizational structure, not much room for growth for career-oritented folks.

Pros

FAST offers unbelievable benefits and the starting pay is outstanding for new college graduates. Also, if you are open-minded to travel and relocation, this couldn't be a better compnay to work for. You have the opportunity to be relocated to any of the national or international sites FAST sites.There are lots of social events and fundraising events. FAST is much more like a family than an employer.

Cons

If you aren't up for relocation, this may not be the right job for you. Also, most Fasties work a lot of overtime, which in this line of work is very easy to do. With that being said FAST also encourages you to take vacation time because, they acknowledge how hard their employees work.
