Pros

Free lunches and your coworkers are great

Cons

Many of us in IT lost our jobs to something called the "CDX Reinvention" which in tern moved all of our jobs to offshore companies like Infosys. If you are looking to work here for IT, look elsewhere.

Pros

Technology forward for employees. Physical environment is very pleasant.

Cons

Contractors responsible for the majority of work. Employees are like the grand pubahs or masters dangling possible employment while they insult much more competent contractors as being incompetent. "Free Lunch" = Incarceration Land of Kate Spade bags and expensive shoes for employees. It's a cluster of epic magnitudes. Horrific female managers. I've never seen such awful people put in positions of power in my entire life. And, I'm a woman. It's catfight central. Environment of secrecy. Management by cluster....literally takes 50 people to change a lightbulb.
