Pros

Start out hourly (time and a half for overtime). Lots of knowledgeable senior staff to learn from. Good standards and very good IT infrastructure. Prestigious projects. Fantastic place to learn from.

Cons

obscene overtime required at times, which is ok as long as you are hourly. low base pay, tiny bonuses (if at all), no raises (for 3 years straight). "Promoted" to salary, so they could pay less. Company claims tough economy so no raises, meanwhile records record profits. Very top heavy company, so advancement is little to none. Politics and large egos with some principals. Many employees are 'coasting' at this point, creating more work for others. Morale problems. High turn over as a result

Pros

Lots of corporate perks, ARE, remote work

Cons

Figure this out early. They are looking for strong corporate citizenship and follower of corporate culture. So, if you say the wrong thing around the water cooler, you will be seeing the HR soon. Be a zombie, get it right the first time and you will keep your job.
