Pros

* There are interesting projects and challenges to work on. * Bagel Wednesday * Benefits and pay are competitive, though not compelling * Sabbatical program

Cons

* There is a lack of leadership at senior levels, and this causes lots of politicking and fighting at lower levels. * Poorly thought through and inefficient processes; some teams try to do agile development, but still have to do the waterfall process gates * Poor technology stack, and you're forced to use it. Trust me, it's awful. * Even features that nobody will ever use are URGENT and you are expected to give up your life to work on them. * Managers are rewarded for taking on more projects, even if their team cannot absorb it. * Creativity is discouraged. * The net of this is that even though there are interesting things to work on, actually working on them is a very frustrating experience.

Pros

Pay is OK. The way it works generates quite a few short term contract positions, however it might not worth it.

Cons

Employee have all the benefits and take all the good opportunities. Contractors got to do all the dirty work. Work place is crowded and noisy.
