Pros

Great customer focussed culture. Good program Managers who really try to do a good job.

Cons

Company is in steady decline. Revolving door at Senior Exec level, and they just keep bringing in outsiders to do the same old thing. Keep losing business which leads to cuts in overhead. But Senior Exec stays in their palace on the 10th floor. Nobody really has a vision how to grow the business. They keep talking about accountability, but this does not apply to the 10th floor, just those who work for them. CEO is out of touch, not everything is a process.

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.
