Pros

This is a fairly low-stress environment with an extensive training program, the facilities are nice and there are a lot of good people working there. The pay is neither high nor low.

Cons

They hire big batches of temps and invest a lot in training, but let people go on a daily basis for infractions that permanent employees are able to get away with; as a temp your performance has to be pretty much perfect or you are let go, which is rather unsettling - the temp agency you are working through gives you a call in the morning and tells you to just not come back. There are way too many managers, and I found the one I had to be quite incompetent and sort of a chicken.

Pros

pays pretty well, professional environment, steady reliable place to work, and if your really ambitious...there is opportunity to grow within your position.

Cons

Metric goals are set high and if you don't meet them on a consistent basis...your fired! Also, the rules changes frequently as to what you are scored for, which often makes it difficult to stay consistent with certain things. The environment is quite negative right now, because you don't feel valued and people get let go all the time.

Incompetent leadership

Pros

Nice building, but extremely poor leadership. Have made a couple leadership changes in the last year - finally got rid of Oliver Bussman as CIO, unfortunate for SAS as he is now their CIO.

Cons

Majority in management are there for themselves with no plans on being there for more than 2-3 years. Spend months and months and thousands of dollars trying to get projects off the ground and then they let them flounder. Unable to complete projects and have extremely high IT process overhead.
