Pros

Work from home if your tasks allow.

Cons

Full of workaholics. 60+ hours/week is considered normal. Frequent after-hour and/or weekend support tasks. Demanding management. They do estimates and staffing needs based on the 60+ hour/week. Good PTO package, but I am listing it here in the "Cons" section because you seldom able to take all your PTOs due to heavy work load. Work-life balance is a joke.

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.
