Pros

The people there are young and you can make some good friends.

Cons

The hours can be long. The pay isn't that great and lunch is very short, if even at all.

Pros

On the operations side, they offer a safe (yet low paying) job with the opportunity to move up a few levels before becoming stuck as a mid level manager.

Cons

After a year of real, professional experience, your job becomes expendable and the management knows it. With no real pay raises and a lack of respect, it becomes a depressing place to work at. Don't get fooled by their promotions and promises like I did.

Pros

Recent upturn in client focus due to market downturn. Overdue but the opportunity to start focusing on quality rather than 'ticking the boxes' is positive. Watch this space.

Cons

Fragmented departments. Seems a bit like mission impossible at times, unless a solution path to a problem is clearly defined they all seem to disavow all knowledge or ownership. Over abundance of middle management & VPs -hampering effectiveness.
