Pros

Not much work pressure. Good for work-life balance.

Cons

Your colleagues are not going to be technically great. There may be still people who can get the job done, but they will be very few in number. Lot of technically incompetent people. You will learn next to nothing from this company. The senior leadership is lacking in vision. I(we) once received an email from the CEO saying that a large percentage of our projects were support/maintenance projects, and so the whole company is trying to become a leader in that direction. WTH? That day I decided to resign from the job.

Pros

They pay you. There's a severance package, if you can hold out for a year.

Cons

There haven't been any raises across the board for two years and no one above 90K is having 401K matched. The people I knew when I started were not there at the end--I can only think of one project person who was still there that I knew...and I wasn't isolated. It feels like the company is just playing at it rather than taking business development and employee retention seriously. I honestly cannot figure out how they can keep contracts. The proposal office must be very good, because my impression is that dedication to oversight of projects is basically nonexistent. In neither case was my PM for the Keane portion of the contract actually onsite.
