Pros

Work with hard working and dedicated people. Great compensation and benefits. Great name to have on your resume.

Cons

Used to be a warm, people friendly atmosphere at work. Now it feels like you're a cog in a corporate clock. Using a corporate buzzword like 'efficacy' as a mantra might give you an ulcer. Turnover rate seems to be higher.

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.
