Pros

- Good atmosphere in teams - Smaller but demanding projects, some of them based on very modern technologies - Managers acting like friends rather than like bosses - Many young ambitious people - Decent salaries, many benefits - Team parties every once in a while - I was never asked to stay overhours

Cons

- I heard that in other departments that the one I was working things aren't so beautiful - Quite frequent changes of office location (if it's a problem for somebody) - Some less effective employees feel a little too comfortable and are not motivated to try harder

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
