Pros

Good basic benefits package (health, 401k) etc. Company is extremely stable and continues to grow steadily even in a slow economy, mostly due to the insurance side of the business.

Cons

- Management doesn't care about work-life balance, only about billable time. - Extremely high stress level, many people in the group (myself included) have developed health related issues because of it. - When you start the job you're told you will be required to have about 12-18 months of training before you are on your own; you are on your own from day 1 to deal with clients who are expecting you to be an expert on the subject matter, I have been here over 5 years and have yet to receive any of the promised training. - While tuition reimbursement is technically a benefit the couple members of my group looking to go for advanced degrees were either given a hard time about it or denied altogether even though their desired degrees and current job titles met all requirements for reimbursement. - Mid level managers will throw engineers "under the bus" in front of a client first and ask questions later

Pros

The benefits are decent with a modest pension.

Cons

Managers are less knowledgeable by the day and so are the frontline workers. There has been a serious decline in knowledge and skills over the past few years but senior management isn't doing anything about it. We assume they don't even notice. The game plan seems to be that AI will take care of everything. Good luck with that. When things start to unravel in a few years every manager will blame someone below them. Maybe then the board of directors will start paying attention to the serious mismanagement that our CEO seems so gleefully proud of.
