Pros

If you get the right entry, the salary and benefits are pretty good. Also it depends on which team you end up working in. If the team is bad (or bad management) then its a terrible experience otherwise things can work out ok.

Cons

Longtime employees become part of the furniture. On the technical side an over-dependence on contractors to do the work. You need to be visible (even if you do not do any fruitful work), otherwise forget about any career plans.

Pros

Great team and luckily for me great leadership in my direct line up to my SVP.

Cons

It’s horrifying how things have changed since Pulte took over. Layoffs, elimination of entire job categories but not the responsibilities of those jobs. It’s not just you work more because a teammate is gone, it’s do a completely different job while still doing you job plus all of your layed off coworkers job.
