Pros

Best gym in town. Beach location. Medical oriented work. Extended company locations much better than the HQ. Health benefits are decent. Philanthropy culture coming from the prior owner, but that is fading somewhat. Great place for new grads or early career to take lumps and move on.

Cons

Not top talent. Low performers from obscure schools & questionable experience. Not challenging. Nepotism. Many people hired are relatives and spouses, good ole boy network. Pay is low. HQ location at the beach is nice, but you learn that the company counts on this for low pay rates and high workload demand. Surrounding area has nearly zero to offer for competing work, but this is changing gradually. Opportunities are great if you're best friends or married to the local VP. Ethically complacent culture. High turnover of smart people, leaving the rest behind.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
