Pros

Employee Training is great. LMS system is easy to use and there are always new trainings to jump in on.

Cons

Employee Advancement Opportunities Salary increases and jumps with promotions are very low compared to industry: bottom 20%. Travel is not very regionalized, even if they tell you it is. East Coast is everything from Chicago down to Louisiana and east. No north/south dividers. Will send you to Midwest or West Coast on a permanent site assignment without blinking. Also, they're sending US employees overseas to train their replacements in Bulgaria and India. 2 months after training, the U.S. Employee receives a notice of job termination--we're an international company after all.

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)
