Pros

Flexible schedule, not too stressful an environment, some smart people

Cons

Clients are asking for greatness (which is acheivable), but corporate politics, general lack of innovation and slowness, and lack of motivation due to a sense that management doesn't care about employees will keep that greatness from happening. No sense of urgency in some cases, extreme sense of pressure to get impossible things done in other cases.

Pros

Lots of projects to work on, a variety of different types of employees to interact with, good subject matter experts.

Cons

Impossibility of promotion, too many work visa employees working for peanuts, and the fact that it takes an act of god (ie the thread of leaving) before management is willing to even acknowledge your value.

Pros

If you want to work for a company that will give you a decent work-life balance this might be the best option.

Cons

The majority of the business units are in cost savings mode and have done little to truly innovate their product line with the changing needs of their clients. As domestic development talent gets cut across the board, data and software products suffer from either (1) the constant transitioning or (2)an inability to devote talent to emerging ideas. This stagnant attitude comes from a company that has numerous cash cows and even a few monopolies. Unfortunately, the end result is that their products and services lack agility and, in general, seem to be losing their edge with their clients.
