Pros

Good benefits, flex scheduling (sometimes)

Cons

Look at the stock prices. Enough said. The management are not leaders and the company invests nothing in growing talent from within. They simply need warm bodies and they will work those warm bodies to death when given the chance. Everyone says the words "work life balance" but it's pretty much rhetoric when they are piling more and more on folks and basically writing checks the folks doing the work can't cash. And don't go to this company expecting to think about kids, in terms of education, as no one ever even utters the words.

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.
