Pros

A comprehensive benefits package, OK compensation (sucks, but it's competitive with other companies in this market), decent people (for the most part).

Cons

No room for promotion after a certain point. Communication among departments is virtually non-existent. Though most people there are pleasant to work with, there are some rather incompetent/lazy people who screw up time and again without penalty while you're left to pick up the slack.

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.
