Pros

Decent enough everyday work and some great people but tainted by some idiotic management who are hell bent on implementing stupid decisions based on poor research regardless of cost, which then leads to the usual layoffs to try to cover the budget defecit. Don't consider the place if you want a long term career.

Cons

When your assignment ends expect to get laid off and your job sent to Denver. Your management will make no effort to help you into the next assignment. Too many 'favorites' get the decent assignements regardless of competence. Over reliance on consultants to advise senior managers who don't have the expertise to really manage the enterprise. Poor training options, petty budget management, and lack of honest communication.
