Pros

Flexible work schedule Can work from home Salary is close to industry standard although could be a little higher

Cons

Line-managers are promoted based on who they know Mid-level managers hide from their staff Very little communication within departments and between departments No clear vision of where the company is going Executive management likes to changes horses mid-race; the end result is that nothing gets accomplished Promotions are based on favoritism There is no recognition for your effort and hard-work There is little difference in raises and bonus between top performers and slackers

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
