Reputation speaks for itself. Access to latest technology.

Cons

Little fish in a big pond mentality; hard to get noticed. Even if you bust your tail or not, you'll get the same amount of raise.

Pros

If you can survive the insanity here, then you will be able to work anywhere later.

Cons

Senior management has no strategic direction which trickles down throughout the organization. Career paths or planning are non-existant. Training opportunities are limited. Each autumn involves cost cutting measures, where we cut off our nose to spite our face. Excessive hours are the expectation but compensation is not adequate to compensate for constant overtime. There is no proper project or resource planning, everyone is over allocated, and the best you can do some days is to cater to whoever shouts the loudest.
