Pros

Looks good on your resume.

Cons

Salaries are insultingly low. You are expected to work 2-3 times your job description. Management ignores you unless you are in the cool club. So unless you want to work in sales sucking up to management and professors while working an expected 70hrs a week making a low base salary and hoping the economy doesnt suck so bad you that by some miracle you make your bonus, its not worth it.

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.
