Pros

Opportunities in various regions throughout the US. If you are gay, you will love this place because they are all about this type of inclusion.

Cons

The company is too large and operates similarly to a public agency, where getting any support is nearly impossible, including HR support. Most of the company's administrative operations are in third-world countries, and contact with them is not possible. - After I resigned, they wouldn't match my 401k and argued that I was no longer an employee and therefore they weren't required to make any contribution. Finally, I requested a reference letter and was told that HR advises against it.
