Pros

Great number of opportunities, especially in the DC metro area, with room for advancement and growth; in my experience, managers tend to stress a positive work-life balance and make accommodations to employees (i.e., flexible hours, telecommuting)

Cons

Training budgets have been slashed; salaries have been mostly flat for the past few years

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance policies , vac time, experience, ability to work from home is only thing keeping me here even though they are forcing mandatory unpaid overtime

Cons

Unrealistic management driven deadlines. Constant downsizing without decrease in workload Promotions are a battle even though your work is a level above. Unpaid overtime that is mandated.
