Pros

Awesome new building with lots of amenities (I miss the salad bar) and very centrally located. Pay was pretty competitive for my position, and the bonus structure was 'fair'. Benefits are AWESOME. I hated leaving the COMPANY - seemed they really cared about taking care of their employees and making them happy.

Cons

Where do i start? My department was reorganized 3 times while I was there (a little over 3 years) with 3 different top managers. Sooooo many AVPs - and what, exactly is their purpose?? Some of the managers were quite vindictive too and would throw you under the bus in a heartbeat to save their own neck. Or, they would take credit for something you did. When we were shorthanded I would often pull 12 hour shifts even though I wasn't asked. I was salaried so OT didn't matter. I never even got a Thank You or offered help. I was frequently called a liar (not in so many words though) and made to feel about 3 inches tall. The politics are so freaking bad and you can't trust anyone. They talk about getting rid of the silos, but nothing gets done about it. At one point I was in 6 hours of meetings a day, 1 hour for lunch, and that left 1 hour to get 8 hours of work done. If you don't stick to your guns about your time there in the office, it will consume you.

Pros

As a contractor they will pay you well. The people are nice and knowledgeable and very willing to help you find your way.

Cons

Very little chance to be hired as a full time employee. Onboarding process is nonexistent. Managers will quickly overload you with work, but very little likelihood to want to pay overtime, but expect that 60 hours of work gets done in 40 hours.
