Pros

The quality of work is pretty good if you get into the right position. There are smart people working around you and that is a good thing. Work culture is pretty good and there is a good work//life balance. It is a good place to start your career and learn.

Cons

The compensation is way below what you would get if you worked in a similar position at some other company. Good place to start your career but move on if you get a better position elsewhere, and move quickly. I have seen a lot of people moving on to better companies and doing good for themselves. The communication between management is very less and inefficient, especially between the different offices.

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.

internal data silos, lack of uniform internal guidelines result in folks reinventing the wheel.
