Pros

Flexible hours. Good training for future careers. PPD focuses on new training rather than retention. Laid back. Most people are friendly, very 'clicky'

Cons

No room for career advancement. You will be expected to do more advanced testing, but will not be compensated for it. Salary not based on performance. If you're bad/horrible at your job you will not be let go. (Could be a pro for some.....and is). Micromanagement. Some groups work significantly harder than others, but upper management is oblivious.

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)
