Pros

If you have been hopping jobs before and coming with good package already, you can negotiate good raise. You just need to work on 9-5 job and Saturdays Sundays are always off. No or little work pressure.

Cons

You will be hired after a tough interview, promised of good work and will make you sit on an old technology software maintenance. You will find and already demotivated and frustrated team to work with. They will see you with curious eyes as you will be the one they are able to hire after one and half year of never ending interview cycles. Chaos in the HR department, they often schedule your induction program 1-2 week after your joining and no one comes on time to give you the introduction of their department. IT applications team is guided by a leader that will tell you on your face in his stand up meetings that he doesn’t need application developers and he hates code altogether. He just loves more of Business and Test team in his team. Even if you feel like leaving the organization in first 10 days of your joining, you need to serve 3 months’ notice period to leave them legally. I was almost forced to abscond from organization because of this reason. On the other hand, if you love to get a job with fewer responsibilities, easy work and good pay, this is the place for you to be in.

Pros

Any of the employees who were hired 5 years ago who are still there (and I believe that number is around 10) are good, hard working people who know what they are doing. So I guess a benefit would be working with THOSE people. Also, there IS room for growth: IF you are male and don't really know all that much, you will soar to the top of this organization.

Cons

- Local office is run by a tight knit group of neanderthals who have no respect for women and very little regard for women in general - People put in charge of things are there due to their ability to suck up and schmooze or nepotism - Pay is super skewed – if you work hard and one of the people on the ground, getting things done, you do not make very much money. Whereas, if you are a male account executive who really doesn’t do anything, your salary will be HUGE - Management is completely ineffectual and clueless as to how things should be done or who is actually doing the work - The people who actually DO work are completely overworked and completely stressed out - Drinking / being an alcoholic is actually a pre-requisite for getting ahead - Conflicting messages from management: they say “client first” then tell you to place coverage with the company that gives the highest commission (does ANYONE remember the Elliot Spitzer / AIG / Marsh thing that happened 15 years ago? No one here apparently does). Also management talks about being “transparent” when they actually mean “opaque” – perhaps installing a dictionary app would assist? - No room for growth / advancement unless you are in the inner circle and male - This company EXCELS at mass firings of people who actually DO work and at hiring people who do not do anything -Local office hasn't made budget for years - Canadian operation is completely subsidized by London
