Pros

If you're in IT, it's a great place to work. Company overall is doing really well, vacation and benefits are pretty good, and the people are generally nice.

Cons

If you're not in IT, or if you're in one of the groups or business units that are not performing as well, you are looking at SLOW promotions, and very few options to make a lateral move within the company, as non-IT positions are few and far between. Promotions and staffing also tend to be quite dependent on how much visibility you and your project manager(s) have relative to senior executives. If you're not on their radar, or if your project managers are no longer in your BU or with the company, pretty much kiss good staffing opportunities, timely promotions, and good bonuses goodbye, regardless of how deserving you may be...

Pros

They will hire anybody. Sick time is unlimited. You have a pretty decent cubicle.

Cons

If you don't suck up then you don't move up. They don't give a rat's butt about you as a person. If you don't cook, don't expect a promotion. Yes, I meant to type cook! (I realize this is an IT company and culinary skills shouldn't play a role, but you'd be surprised in the SWVA Center)

Pros

You get great experience in the consulting world. You travel all around the country. If you have a good PM, you get training. If you're smart (and a little lucky), you will work on a variety of projects in a variety of industries. Great experience for a first job in IT.

Cons

They lay you off if you're on the bench too long, no matter what you contributed to the company beforehand. There are only a couple positions to be promoted to. The pay scale is lower than comparable jobs in the area. I was able to get a 15% pay increase by making a lateral move to another company. And this was in a down economy.
