Pros

Some good people here and there, broad array of tech tools.

Cons

Even though the company suggests to assume a good intent, some people and HR makes it impossible. I am getting into all other issues such as letting people raise their voice to their inferiors, but once a guy at a manager position came to our office for a 5 minute chitchat during lunchtime and talking about the wedding he was invited to and his hopes to meet a girl there. This guy has been alone in New York for last 5 years by the way. Following his conversation, another guy in a senior manager position outright said if you can’t find women, try a guy in a very disrespectful way in the office. When a person reported this issue to HR, it took very long to process and waited until a reorg. Even though the person who insulted got laid off during the reorg, they also laid the person who reported the incident during the reorg. This should have been taken to the court actually, but the one who reported was sick and tired, then he didn’t want to have any interaction with the company anymore.

Pros

Pay can be decent compared to GovCon. Some people are a pleasure to work with. Other non-pay related incentives.

Cons

Never heard more nonsensical topics during meetings; people sharing their sexual preferences, flaunting overly dramatic personal lifestyle decisions, diversity to the point of failure, etc. Hearing the term "white guilt" in a professional setting was, well, pretty unprofessional. Stack ranking for performance reviews is a mess. Someone has to have an "F" regardless of their performance because that is what their line of business is allotted. Be prepared to be held responsible for actions any Sr Leadership would just sweep under the rug under their own circumstances. If a manager doesn't like you, regardless of your productivity, you're toast unless you're able to find another LoB to support. HR / AR are just a check in the box and will most likely point you from one to the other and back again without resolving any issues. You'll find yourself curious as to what leadership does as they continue to scrape managerial responsibilities from their plate, to yours. Last but certainly not least; you may find yourself working hard on a project; nights and weekends, just in case that work life balance is feeling a little too perfect. Fret not, someone will surely assist in taking credit for the hard work you've put in. I'm sure none of these things will happen to you, though. Best of luck!
