Pros

Some cool projects; Somewhat flexible work hours; and Some competent staff

Cons

Utilization is everything; ZERO recognition when you've exceeded your goals; Management cares about one thing: themselves; Pathetic compensation (spot bonuses can take months to be received); Promotion will not happen unless you "know someone"; Sell work, and watch some other clown above you be rewarded for it; GRIP. Seriously? Guaranteed remediation? Give me a break; Uses GRIP to hide current losses for future ones; Incompetent management in-charge of a bunch of fresh college grads who don't realize; Turn over. Revolving staff door cool? Try revolving management too.

Pros

The people and the work we do.

Cons

None really. Could use better pay consistencies and recognition of those who do well and are rewarded as such.
