Pros

If you like a start-up-ish, dorm room atmosphere you can bump the rating up a bit. Very young, geeky to hipster staff creates overly excitable work climate, which can be fun or annoying depending on how busy you are (sorry, am trying for some pros here!).

Cons

Granted this is a office for technical people to solve technical issues in, but the PC you get to do your job on can't even run the primary software you need to do your job? (It does come overloaded with porn, though. True story!) Just a couple examples of first week hazing for you. The theme for how management "motivates" you, is putting the less liked or favored (too old? not hip enough?) new recruits too far behind the 8 ball to ever thrive or succeed via dirty tricks and withholding any and all support. Think that creates an atmosphere of stress and hostility?

Pros

Flexible work, basic benefits, dependent on client and direct management. I was lucky to have a wondering team and client.

Cons

Job security isn't present, internal movement unlikely, overall company outlook trending downward. This was a stepping stone role I took after a prior layoff only to have been laid off again.
