Pros

Nice benefits, generous PTO policy. In general decent salary. Most of the people there are professional and kind. Opportunity to learn a lot via lateral moves.

Cons

Company does a lot of layoffs. The culture is a "performance culture" where you are expected to do work outside of your job description for no additional pay. Often encouraged or expected to work entirely outside of your pay band, ie manage people at an analyst's salary. Not a lot of opportunity to advance.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
