Pros

Excellent flexibility- ideal for working parents of young children. Good job if you are not promoted and want to remain a specialist.

Cons

Way to many mid level managers fighting for attention, projects, etc. Very phony atmosphere- fake "Buzz Words" fly around like a bad cold (e.g. "Touch base", "Drill Down", "Reduce Scope") Many people looking to look good and make an impression - Many people willing to lie and throw others under the bus and not take responsibility where they need to. A lot of managers are in way over their head. IT projects are a joke- way to many meetings and the cost for basic updates that are critical to customers and back office is outrageous. This leads to huge cuts in the projects and nothing gets done ever. Very Frustrating.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
