Pros

Some of the best and talented bunch of people I've worked with. Nice work-from-home and leave policies. Never have had to work overtime or off-hours.

Cons

Attrition is very high; doesn't do good for morale when co-workers resign every other week. Constantly changing mid and upper management is terrible. They seem to have have a bundle of different excuses why they can't hold on to employees, when everyone is screaming that it's just two: low + stagnant pay and lack of stability.

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.
