Pros

You will never be bored. If you can walk, chew gum, and juggle at the same time, this is a good place for you.

Cons

Increasingly compartmentalized corporate structure, but a still has the illusion of a "Just get it done" philosophy. Same, multi-system, mishmosh of resources that plague other companies who fail to integrate legacy data into a new systems.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
