Pros

Haven't been forced in the office for over a year. The vacation package isn't terrible

Cons

Very corporate, very political, instead of caring about what you do to advance the team goals, you are told to sell yourself to other teams to get recognized outwardly. Lots of attitude towards people lower than VP from people higher than VP. They hire tons of upper management that don't really do much and leave the people doing the work unsupported and overworked. They don't invest in young people's careers, everyone in management is a middle aged white man. They talk about diversity and do nothing to actually get there. They talk about inclusivity and do nothing to be inclusive. It's all just buzzing to try to make people think they are doing good in the world. They aren't. They also don't give raises above inflation (typically lower than 3-4%), so if you plan for staying longer than a year make sure you get a pay rate you can live on for a while. They say you'll get a 401k match but it only fully vests after 5 years in the company. Don't waste 5 years at this place.

Pros

I'm not there anymore. Fair pay. Started out great.

Cons

Midway through a year-long contract I already started looking. It was an extremely boring place to work. This is the kind of place where you stay within your boundary. In other words, if you are an architect, you design diagrams all day. No hands-on work - even if you know what you're doing. I was even rebuked on several occasions for working with a developer to help him out. I was told I needed to tell him to ask someone else responsible for that. If you like to do hands on and you are an architect, you will hate it here.
