Pros

Marvelous co-workers! Varied technology experiences are possible, lots of opportunities to change focus. Generally good culture, fun and laid-back with many company-sponsored events. Plentiful opportunities for advancement, up to a point.

Cons

Business model incentivizes over-promising to clients and exploiting mandatory overtime to benefit management. A lot of lip-service is paid to quality, but most teams are junior-heavy, leading to mediocre work. Easy to rise to the position of tech lead, but beyond that tends to be non-technical positions. Salaries trail industry, higher rates can be achieved but only by pressuring management. A few toxic higher-level managers run unchecked, burning out developers and tanking projects. Mediocre health plan; disastrous prescription drug plan. No matching investment plan.

Had good exciting opportunities to explore technically

Cons

Some of the management folks were short sighted and forced technical teams on temporary solutions rather than long term solutions to satisfy the clients
