Pros

Interesting and challenging projects. A global company where you feel connected to some of the most prominent projects out there. High standards so you are kept on your toes!

Cons

My experience has been that they burn you out when there is too much work, and then toss you out when you are light. No stability at times, many worry about how long they will be able to continue based on workload.

Negotiate your severance in advance...

Pros

Paycheck in your bank account every two weeks, until they lay you off, anyway.

Cons

Company is going through bad times. Layoffs left and right...people working on projects with you are always just gone one day. I also don't advise taking any FMLA time. Human Resources is the worst I've ever dealt with. Every interaction, from my background check (done by some idiots in some third-world country who were having difficulty verifying my prior employment because they were calling the New York office of a company I worked for that was headquartered in the midwest, and I worked in an office in the south...here's a hint: New York is not the literal center of the universe) to my layoff (I can't collect unemployment because they reported that I still worked there) and everything in between has been a nightmare. Travel embargoes all the time. Can't spend money on anything...you like a particular pen in the supply closet? Tough...that pen got downsized. Dictums come down on things like types of staplers you can have. Management recently got approval to sell preferred stock to an "institutional investor"...you know what that means. Crummy high deductible health insurance (that's holy cow expensive in COBRA, especially considering what it is).
