Pros

The pay and benefits were competitive.

Cons

Management played favorites, to the detriment of employee morale and group functioning. There were many managers who preferred to stick their heads in the sand instead of proactively addressing problem situations and employees. Groups worked in silos, making it difficult to build cross-functional teams. Bureaucracy was king. Technology problems were frequent, and resulted in significant slowdowns and losses in productivity.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
