Pros

Leading edge technology and opportunities to work on some exciting applications and accounts. Great place to work out of college.

Cons

Long hours. Business model required head down focus on the "now" at the expense of employee development. It's a bad sign when weekly *rah rah* meetings have an overabundance of 'thank you" messages being given based on the number of hours put in by recipient.
