Pros

Nice people (although this varies obviously by office and team) Decent Salary and Benefits (medical, dental) Buy Stock and they match the contribution up to small amount per period(at least when I was there) They are good a making profit and stock consistently rises overall. Social events and bonuses on occasion. Minor pay bonus for working on call. Travel may be required.

Cons

They refuse to pay out banked overtime hours yet refusing to work overtime is very frowned upon and will quickly become problematic for you. My HR rep called me on my last day to inform me that I should have taken the last 2 weeks off as my banked time will not be paid out under any circumstances. WOW, thanks for the warning. Using banked time is usually also an ordeal. Teams I worked with were put under massive pressure due to poorly negotiated requirements with clients, which of course results in "not required" overtime. They will call a position "development" when they mean "Software Analyst or Systems Support" in order to generate interest in a role which needs to be filled. On call work may be required. Travel may be required.
