Pros

They do pay on time.

Cons

There is no overtime; you are being watched by a dcs overseer who controls your destiny closely linked to any comments from their customer. You can be as professional, courteous and engineering tactfully correct but if your dcs overseer gets any comments that your work is not what they expect you will be fired. DCS will not go to bat for you. They are only interested in keeping their customer happy. So keep the customer happy at all costs and get a real job.

Pros

Solid work-life balance. I rarely worked late and all of my projects had distant deadlines. The projects I worked on were pretty relaxed and informal, i.e. a client would ask for support on some project and I'd provide it, no code reviews, agile boards, etc.

Cons

The pay increase schedule is a fairly generous annual adjustment (5-6%) but there's no pay bump for title changes so that's all you get. Additionally, the culture of my team at least didn't really promote career growth or skill learning. My manager gave me a lot of freedom to work as independently, but the tradeoff of that is that I didn't gain experience with code reviews, stand-ups, Agile, etc. Not as important if you already have a lot of experience under your belt but something to consider for a junior engineer.
