Pros

Large company with many routes to take for career advancement. Consistent schedule Company encourages use of PTO Flexible

Cons

Promotions are few and far between, promotions are announced in April and off cycle promotions are rare. Depending on the department you are hired into also affects your chances of receiving a promotion which means you can take on extra work and perform at a job title above your level but your odds of advancement can still feel like a dice roll.

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
