Pros

Benefits are very good, even excellent, and compensation is more than adequate. Some people are quite pleasant to work with. It is occasionally a very engaged and friendly group, or it can be if you find your people. If not, though, it can be isolating.

Cons

There is a lot of temporary employment, and it's tough to become permanent. Doing so does not seem to be related to job performance, sociability, reviews, workload, or what have you. I therefore now find myself out of work, despite going above and beyond at my job, and having good relationships with coworkers and managers.

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.
