Pros

Strong Pipeline. Good pay & benefits. Telecommuting Options.

Cons

Preach a focus on work life balance, but in reality they expect you to put in a lot of hours. Poor internal coordination and alignment. Prone to over expansion and harsh layoffs. It's been like clock work every 5 years they hack staff.

Pros

Up to date technology, good benefits and vacation, decent pay, decent cafeteria and gym.

Cons

Coming in as a contractor it can take a long time to go from contractor to FTE. Often it seemed as if there was no rhyme or reason to promotions.
