Pros

Lots of great people work here Management is generally friendly and responsive

Cons

Low pay and tiny raises Lack of promotion opportunities Lack of projects means a large bench, and those on the bench don't have job security Short term projects and bouncing around makes it hard to become proficient in any one thing HR is a chatbot

Pros

Decent pay, working options (remote vs. hybrid) exist, but seem to change without cause. Benefits exist, but overall package (RBA vs. 401k) is dwindling.

Cons

Layoffs happen across this segment of industry, however, I have watched IBM get worse and worse in their layoffs from 1 year of severance to anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Always need to have a backup plan.
