Pros

Good health benefits & 401k match. Global opportunities for PM's and Account Mgrs.

Cons

Once or twice yearly 10% layoffs, usually in Feb/March. Effort to offshore all roles except Account Mgmt. & Sales. Managed Services operations rely almost entirely on Customer infrastructure. Multiple US contracts perpetually at risk. Continuous flow of Sr. Managers from outside blocking opportunities for existing staff to move up.
