Pros

Flexible work hours (9/80), Business Casual work environment, 401K matching. The people you will work with are helpful and support each other; first level managers at least give you the time of day now, they're just as hand-tied as you are.

Cons

Bonuses were taken away, lost another paid holiday (down to 10/yr), benefits have slipped significantly, work environment is not conducive to getting quality work done. Upper management is satisfied with mediocrity and does not single out those who go out of their way to overcome obstacles and turn out great work. You can expect to remain at your current level for 5-10 years without any prospect of moving up.

Pros

The people you work for directly are wonderful professionals. They listen and truly work together as a team, sharing their ideas and critiques freely and fairly. Even the managers, leads and program mangers are the best I have worked with in a while.

Cons

The Csuite are not as inventive and very risk averse. They cry about needing to keep talent and keep the knowledge base from being lost. But when a program gets canceled or stop work, if you arent at one of their main work sites like in Dulles or Gilbert, you are out of luck now with their push of no "remote" work. And by remote that means not at whatever site the managers are at. And it isnt the managers choice either as the corporate pushes them to deny "remote" or make their lives miserable if they try to keep current employees that could fill the role at other offices.
