Pros

I really like the flexibility and autonomy. The comp is fine, and when the company isn't in a hiring freeze or budget crunch, there is a decent opportunity for internal mobility....BUT you need to know the right people.

Cons

The company suffers from poor communication because of tech silos and management doesn't seem to find it worth their time to respond to emails even when problems need resolution. We don't have adequate tools to meet the demands of the job. Management is constantly changing which comes across like senior management doesn't know what it's doing.

Pros

Industry is going through lots of changes. Therefore lots of work that can be challenging and interesting. Some new technology and process such as agile.

Cons

Senior leadership more interested in self glorification. Promote big digital successes that are not truly realized but gets CIO in magazines. Disingenuous.

Pros

Experienced great working relationships with colleagues and clients. Modern facilities, trending toward decent technology.

Cons

Highly political firm (never experienced this level of "the power of a few" in 25 years). If you are a player, you will succeed. If your are not political, and only focused on improving the client experience and keeping clients as truly #1 - this is not the place for you.
