Pros

Learning opportunities. Good for staying a short time then go somewhere else.

Cons

Unprepared peers and managment. Not guided by meritocracy but rather by how well you get along with your bosses. Bad salary. Not a good work enviornment. Unfair treatment. Hipocresy regarding enterprise values and what actually happens there.

Pros

broad technological background; lots of opportunities along various permeable career paths; company has been in business as a reliable partner for a long time, hence a lot of bigger deals are only in existence due to the company's ability to perform and to living up to the expectations of a trusted long-term client relationship; it is easy to be involved and contribute to as well as personally grow with huge deals, that other companies never would be able to execute

Cons

strategically moving away from a technology company to a 'high margin service' (aka consulting) company in favor of shareholder value, despite not being able to cope with the change culturally and not providing a clear vision; laying off highly skilled technological specialists to substitute with lower skill, high margin consulting jobs; at the same time not consequently aiming for top consulting personalities for new hires (the company is literally bleeding out on skilled workers); work-life balance with a strong tendency to working overtime where the salary is not at all high enough to compensate for this lifestyle and no alternative compensation is in place
