Pros

Good pay and learning opportunities for a new B.S. Graduate. It's very easy work. No long hours or work taken home.

Cons

Very poor management quality and company culture. You get the impression that all the smart people move on after a few years and the ones that don't have any better options become the middle management.

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)
