Pros

Lots of opportunity for experience if you find the right team. Comparable pay.

Cons

Easy to lose work-life balance. Benefits decline every year. Company structure always in flux; Leadership changes the direction of the company every 6 months. Benefits and internal structure keep changing under the guise of improvement, but everyone knows it is either a stop-gap solution or designed to be better for the shareholders. The company keeps trying to reduce overhead to be more competitive, but instead they add more overhead to manage the reduction of overhead, and the rates pretty much stay the same. Once upon a time, everyone had offices, now hardly anyone has an office. Rates went down 0.0%.

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.
