Pros

Pay is very good for what work is done. The health insurance plans are the best I've ever had.

Cons

The company actively tries to outsource you and get rid of you any way possible. They expect you to have over 80% billable hours with contracts but then keep trying to figure out how to outsource as much of your contract as possible. That puts you below the target billable hours and they require you to figure out how to find more hours in more contracts. The final straw was telling me I had to relocate my family to an office for "something something better?" even though the closest office was a full capacity with no room, and all my clients where in other states.

Pros

Get your 2 years in and leave.

Cons

15 days PTO can't be carried over and sucks. Lots of BS admin work needs to be done outside of your actual work.
