Pros

Good compensation and name recognition among peers. Benefits are ok. Work/life balance was good, but as others mentioned, definitely depends on the group.

Cons

Middle management is out to save their own hides. There is no career pathing or feedback that is constructive. Your reviews are regurgitated comments from your self-appraisal back to you. The one exception is things to work on. They love to point those out at review time, but when regular meetings are done, there is no mention of areas of improvement, only "keep up the good work". There was no training at all, just a "here is your desk, good luck". There is no culture or team. Everyone learns to look out for #1 and use others for their own advancement.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
