Pros

You get a lot of visibility to other departments / business units which helps understanding of overall work being done on a project. You are quickly exposed to a lot of different technology and hands-on work. It is fast-paced, critical work which impacts bottom line. Generally good team environment.

Cons

Aspects of the work require "on the job training" which can be frustrating at times. The job sometimes requires long hours and after-hour support. The company's healthcare benefits could be better.

Pros

If you are motivated and bright you have a lot of opportunity and is rewarded. There are some groups which do not micromanage and allow freedom and encourage ideas which help the company grow.

Cons

No cohesiveness and much fingerpointing between the groups. No accountability with some groups in helping to resolve internal issues. The company is going in different directions and using the same staff to support. There is a poor balance between generating new business and supporting existing, sometimes not coming up with enterprise solutions for years.
