Pros

There is potential for a person to shine and be part of what may be a new player on the scene.

Cons

The recent merger with SI International has placed 2 mid size companies together that seem to compliment one another well. The new larger company has the potential to be a new player on the block. The problem seems to be that there is lack of managerial experience. The 2 individual companies were midsize but acted as small businesses. The combined firm is now large but still operating as a small business. It will either come together quickly and rise to the occasion or fall apart. So a motivated person may take the ride up or down.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
