Pros

The 401K is better than most other companies I have looked into. They have also increased time off to 20 per year starting with roll over. The vacations days are a little better than most companies as well with a full week off around Christmas. Flexable start times between 7 and 9. Easy to handle projects and daily work.

Cons

Compensation increases are as low as 2%, down from 3%. Compensations are based on a bell curve instead of pure merrit, with a vast majority getting the minimum or very close to it, yet individuals are not allowed to know where they are on the curve. The cap for time off increases for length of employment has gone down and time off can't be rolled over more than one year or cashed in. Projects don't get much more challenging with promotions and many vendors have poor communication skills which can impeed project progress.
