Pros

The people. What little is left of an amazing culture and company. Doing what is right for the student. Very little beyond this, sad to say.

Cons

Constant layoffs. No raises. Low salaries with little chance of bonusing. No time for PTO or vacation. Horrible management and culture across most teams. Zero life balance year round.

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.
