Pros

The benefits are good, the work life balance is pretty good. The hours are reasonable. Summer hours are a nice perk as well.

Cons

A complete mish-mash of various acquisitions. Numerous old, incompatible systems. No management structure in the company. Also a lot of middle and upper management people who have been there forever, make a ton of money, and do nothing

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
