Pros

Having no other options and being trapped.

Cons

Comparatively poor payers within the industry, demanding as an organisation, limited room for advancement if you're not in a sales role. Continuous job insecurity

Pros

They applied DoD clearance for me. The pay is a little above average in the region. (if they are prime on that program) The benefits are on par with others in the similar size.

Cons

SI is losing a lot of their contracts in a lot of places since SERCO bought them. (or a little earlier before that) So, don't expect you will land on another contact with them if your contract is ending. (sometime prematurely)

Pros

Interesting projects Nice people Good benefits Very flexible schedules Plenty of free parking

Cons

Unfortunately, there are many: Management in the Learning Division leads in absentia, and it shows - there is no sense of team, and you feel like no more than a resource in a factory. This is possibly why there is a very high turnover. There is considerable office politics at play, and while there is an "open door" policy, you can't feel certain that something shared won't hurt someone (even yourself) down the road. While there are many interesting projects, you can't be certain that the one chosen for the job is the most qualified - rather, it's sometimes the one that appeals most to management, for whatever reason. Ironically, for an organization that builds training for others, there is practically no training or conference attendance budget - the only way you can go to a conference is if it is free, you have been published, or if you are presenting at the conference. There are always promises of improving, but given that management gets sizable bonuses in spite of poor performance, there is little incentive for them to do so.
