Pros

I was able to work on some interesting projects with real impact, and gained a new appreciation for the power of the .NET tech stack.

Cons

The internal culture was absurdly dysfunctional, and incentivized project managers to treat employees as interchangable cogs between projects. I was told that the standard in my business unit was 'You can only bill 40 hours to the customer, but expect 60-80 hour weeks.'
