Pros

For younger employees, a chance to learn a lot. Very liberal budget for IT and travel. Very good benefits.

Cons

Its a sweat shop. You are expected to be on call, working, checking email, 24/7/365. They have no sympathy for family issues that require time away from work. They fire good people at the drop of a hat with little justification. Performance, ratings, while supposedly based on 360 degree feedback, is subject to change by management if they decide they don't like you. Management hires their friends at outragiously high salaries, thereby denying internal candidates new opportunities.

Pros

It’s highly dependent on your team and contract, but personally the people I worked with directly (including my managers) were excellent - smart and driven people. It’s a large company so there are plenty of resources available if you seek them out.

Cons

Rigid review structure that limits and delays promotion opportunities despite successful delivery on contract.
