Pros

WFH on Mondays and Fridays. Good Benefits and decent PTO

Cons

No real support from management, but heavy micromanaging. It's all about the numbers, even if it doesn't make sense to track your numbers, based on what you do. Managers do not take responsibility for anything, and every word that is spoken is in an effort to CYA. People who are good at what they do end up with piles of work, while the ones that couldn't tell their workload from a hole in the ground get treated as equals. And as equals, I mean that it doesn't matter how hard you work or how much integrity you have, people who are known to slack off and not work get the same bonuses and raises as everyone else. So really, there is no point in working hard.

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.
