Pros

Really good benefits. I thought the pay was very good or the industry. Very challenging work.

Cons

They promote people to leadership positions who are terrible leaders. Managers and project managers who are terrible to their direct reports or people working on their projects. It's the most cutthroat place I've ever worked. Incredible favoritism. Completely demoralizing.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
