Pros

Health coverage, 401k plan, collaborative environment, decent management. It's a slower pace so there's lots of room to learn at your own pace. Decent pay if you're a fresh graduate. Looks good on the resume.

Cons

A very typical conservative work environment so the culture is monotone. Some campuses are not ideal if you're transitioning from college as there is nothing to do outside of the area. Claims to be in need of resources, but also has a bunch of new programmers that they are unable to utilize due to lack of experience, so there is an awkward gap. In the long term, the pay might not be as ideal as there are other companies/industries that offer more benefits.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
