Pros

+ many very smart and genuinely nice people - a collegial environment + very little turnover. People seem to really like working here. + most everyone really cares about the work they do + great support from my manager (not sure if this true for everyone, but it is for me) + challenging work + flexible work arrangements + yearly bonuses if things are going well + working to improve office environments (should be a big improvement)

Cons

- biggest issue: pay ranges are low - most teams are understaffed - widely distributed teams, limited face-to-face interactions with some peers - decisions are very much top down, command and control is pretty much the norm - current office environments can be stifling, hard to interact with others

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
