Pros

Some cool projects; Somewhat flexible work hours; and Some competent staff

Cons

Utilization is everything; ZERO recognition when you've exceeded your goals; Management cares about one thing: themselves; Pathetic compensation (spot bonuses can take months to be received); Promotion will not happen unless you "know someone"; Sell work, and watch some other clown above you be rewarded for it; GRIP. Seriously? Guaranteed remediation? Give me a break; Uses GRIP to hide current losses for future ones; Incompetent management in-charge of a bunch of fresh college grads who don't realize; Turn over. Revolving staff door cool? Try revolving management too.
