Pros

It is a big company with big company benefits offering competitive payscale in a vibrant industry.

Cons

It is incredibly frustrating as it appears that no one is leading the ship. Strategic direction changes almost monthly, depending on which VP is on a war path. Operational policies are nonexistent, inconsistent and nonsensical. Midlevel management, for the most part are more political than market savvy and as such business decisions are focused on the need of the body politic rather than the need of the customer. Internal silos cause people to work at times at odds. There is a lack of coordination. Hector is completely disengaged.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
