Pros

Good salary, great people, great product.

Cons

Managers and supervisors aren't the best -- many decisions are made strictly for the sake of the "bottom line" without considering company image, quality, and employees. Communication among departments, business groups, and locations is very poor and inconsistent. Too many stakeholders makes it difficult to get anything done in a timely manner. Senior management does not communicate critical information about restructuring, etc. to employees.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
