Pros

Integrating new tech stacks, code reviews, overall a good structure. Really good work-life balance. Pay starts off competitive. Good insurance

Cons

Sometimes there can be too many cooks in the kitchen, and maintaining the legacy code can be a hassle. Promotions can be slow-moving, pay stops being competitive after working here awhile. Bonuses are low.

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.
