Pros

Working with a lot of talented people

Cons

You are worthless if you spend more than 4 hours a week Overhead time. They don't value you or invest in your career development. They let you work on your single role as you are the most efficient and cheapest labor they can find inside and outside the company.

Pros

Competitive salary. Lots of interesting projects and work.

Cons

Very corporate structure. Terrible offshore IT, tickets get responded to days after opening in the middle of the night. Big push from upper management to use offshored engineering teams in Poland.
