Pros

Good pay for entry-level positions Good mentorship

Cons

Overtime & lots of working lunches I found myself on a team with poor leadership and fear-based tactics driving productivity. I attempted to switch teams, as I considered it to be an abusive environment. At the end of my contract for that project, they planned to switch me, but I was not willing to wait that long and chose to leave the company. With that said, I had peers on other projects that had good experiences - depends on the team on which you are placed.
