Pros

It comes with great pay (Corp to Corp). I have the pleasure of working with many talented individuals, and it offers flexible work-life balance(depending on the group with which you're assigned).

Cons

their internal processes are horrid. 2 weeks to get a computer? a month+ to get a phone? There's no real way to track down where a request is in order to chase, it's all in general mailboxes so you never know who should be working on something. They've changed ticketing systems for datacenter work twice since I've been working here and did not document it or notify anyone. The systems are so convoluted that they take several tries to submit a simple firewall change as zero documentation exists..
