Pros

Interesting projects. Smart people. Opportunity to grow and move into different roles. New workforce architecture has potential for technical careers to last beyond 5-7 years.

Cons

Management have recently rearchitected the workforce and now align their excellent technical workforce's compensation with larger market competitors, despite recruiting those high caliber candidates who would otherwise join financial or similar high paying tech firms. Everything negative done in the eyes of employees is now 'in line with the market' , despite Detica charging some of the highest rates to customers.
