Pros

Most of the teams you'll work with have a very nice culture. You'll get along with your fellow developers and most managers. The work isn't too demanding, and resources aren't too spares. The new vision for a tech-focus is neat and means you may be allowed to explore technology you couldn't at other companies. The biggest plus is being able to find and work with a team you like, the atmosphere is very social and open which is rare in tech.

Cons

Compensation is poorly handled and it's a known issue. Once you are in the door you aren't going to be able to move unless you have the right projects/manager working in your favor. Numerous employees who were deserving better compensation/promotions are overlooked for those that are friends with the right people. Business isn't aligned with sdlc, while developers are expected to be agile business isn't all in. They continually update requirements or don't even give them and expect the deadline to be unyielding causing friction with developers. I experienced numerous projects where management would not only tell us a requirement was no longer accurate but not give us a properly updated version. IE. Don't do this, but figure out a replacement feature. With sometimes a few days left to get the feature in. Walled off areas cause more issues as well, certain groups aren't properly focused such as dev ops and qa causing those groups to be exhausted and unable to properly service developers. This isn't exactly the groups fault but management for not properly securing more talent. Though these groups have power over developers meaning it puts all groups at ends with another. Contractors not properly vetted, in order to meet the headcount quota. These contracting firms are sending numerous `developers` that aren't capable of even scaffolding a basic application let alone building an entire working project. The number of times you may be pulled off work to then aid them is debilitating.

Pros

Good benefits and 401k is halfway decent.

Cons

The DCS Southeast region is horrible. Unless you want to be screwed over and not have a way to succeed, then join this region. Management is horrible, makes you feel in-confident in yourself in anyway possible. The worst part: HR doesn't believe on word you say. If you're an employee of this region, I am deeply sorry.
