Pros

1. Good quality of work 2. Great teammates who share your workload, and truly help you when you are in need 3. If you want to work in a specific field, they will get you projects 4. Trustworthy executive management

Cons

1. Mid management, specifically ADs and Ds are selfish in sharing their bounty 2. Too much cross-department politics. Sometimes, really unbearable. You could notice them fighting like cats and dogs. 3. Mid management lazy to venture out current trends. They just need to fill their sales credit brackets easily, so try the same thing which has worked. 4. They look at numbers and profits, and don't invest in bringing in right talent; resulting in existing employees overworking. 5. Heavily underpaid, and overworked. People stay because of their teammates and not because the company keeps them happy. 6. Heavy attrition rate. In my years working, I see more people quit than currently staying.

Pros

Good WLB Great Bosses Health insurance & benefits are awesome Very flexible workforce Easy to climb up in promotions

Cons

Pay is below standard (Although I feel you still get paid decently for the area) If you're put on a production project, be ready to feel stuck. Management is very lost on where they want to head into the future. I am worried this company won't last much longer (Former arthur anderson) Can feel clique-y at times amongst peers (but this is not a problem of the company specifically)
