Pros

Best co-workers a person could ask for. Wonderful, dedicated, professional, intelligent, team players. Great benefits, ability to telecommute, flexible work schedules.

Cons

Direction of company under John Fallon has taken a downturn. Multiple reorganizations and layoffs of long-time employees. Morale among remaining employees -- at least in the division I was in -- is very low.

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.
