Pros

Great benefits, good pay, good opportunities for international assignments, fast paced environment. Mostly small teams and organizations.

Cons

No work/life balance, a lot of conference calls that are in the middle of the night. decisions take forever, mgmt not held accountable for their decisions, intense pressure to deliver with very little time and resources. Good ideas can be dismissed if they don't fit current "emergency". Your job security is not based on how good you are but what you happen to be doing or the team you happen to be in. Top performers get laid off regularly, while lower performing people get to keep their jobs just because they were in a "safe" unit. Everybody wants to have a say on everything but no one wants to have the responsibility / accountability for the decisions.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
