Pros

When a project was well managed and had moderate success for time and budget, the rewards were generous and shared.

Cons

If you happened to be chosen to work on a project that had an unrealistic schedule and/or an inexperienced or incompetent manager, then you would have the unpleasant experience of a death march, spending days, nights, week-ends to meet an unrealistic roll-out schedule -- not the best way to create and implement reliable supply chain software solutions. The company relies heavily on onshore/offshore talent from India's big consulting firms, and while I understand this is "normal" in the industry, I find it unfair and un-American not to give the same work opportunities to aspiring programmers who have paid their dues, worked through the training, and proven through fixing code, a level of expertise. Instead, I found a tendency for management, in a top-down fashion, to give most of the best work to the contractors and give the old technology work and maintenance to the American full-time employee programmer analysts.

Pros

Decent pay and career opportunities if you get management to like you.

Cons

Management and HR will do more work to avoid dealing with conflicts in the company than resolving them.
