Pros

Some of the pros are your teammates and managers are nice. The work is very repetitive, but it keeps you busy. Free cereal!

Cons

Sometimes you have to work Saturdays, (which is nice because it's overtime) but the sick time and vacation are poolled together, you only get 9 hours a month (basically a sick day) if you want to take a week vacation, you need to work nearly 5 months straight sometimes with 6 day work weeks. It's tough on your body as it can be very physically repetitive. There's not much oppertunity to grow into other positions.

Pros

Great Product One of a kind projects Cutting Edge Technology High Pressure & Impossible timelines (will prepare you to work on anything and anywhere) Amazing coworkers and mentors

Cons

You will find the odd non-performing politician in a sea of hard working talented individuals. Unfortunately, they will have the time to promote themselves when others can't because of the actual work and timelines. If you believe in justice and fairness this will drive you crazy.
