Pros

The company events and perks are there to camouflage the long hours of thankless work that will be extracted to cover up poor management. The managers have it great – just look at their review comments.

Cons

The PMO’s expectations are extremely rigid, highly bureaucratic, administratively burdensome, and applied with an immature no-deviation from PMO standards approach. The PMO processes are primarily in place to provide CYA for WTS due to the low quality of its software and/or the highly optimistic sales promises of the WTS sales team. You will work long hours with no reward. WTS (prima Dona) management will blame the PM when things go invariably wrong.

Pros

There's a good health insurance plan, which is great because with all that stress and unpaid overtime, you're doubling your risk of a heart attack. Salaries would be only slightly sub-par if employees were actually working a 40-hour work week. Since WTS gets lots of practice in this area, they're great at picking out new hires. Employees are often bright creative hard workers who are passionate about what they do. Just don't get too attatched to your awesome co-workers, because they won't be there for long.

Cons

CEO thrives on conflict and a "pants on fire" level of urgency. Rules by fear and intimidation, threating to fire people if customer expectations aren't met. Since sales department often makes unrealistic promises, it's virtually guaranteed that that the company will let down their customers. And because of all the threats, employees are hesitant to take responsibility for projects, productivity is down despite long hours, and everyone is scrambling from one emergency to another, throwing each other under the bus in the process. Obviously, this results in an extremely high rate of turnover.
