Pros

Recent upturn in client focus due to market downturn. Overdue but the opportunity to start focusing on quality rather than 'ticking the boxes' is positive. Watch this space.

Cons

Fragmented departments. Seems a bit like mission impossible at times, unless a solution path to a problem is clearly defined they all seem to disavow all knowledge or ownership. Over abundance of middle management & VPs -hampering effectiveness.

Pros

Good salary. Really good benefits (health plan, pension plan) assuming you are FT as opposed to contractual/temp. The managers are generally very competent and friendly.

Cons

The opportunity for advancement is not that great and high turnover. The entry-level people seem to quit after about 1 or 2 years because the 2nd level people never seem to move up (to make room)
