Pros

People are friendly, smart, and laid back. Most people arrive sometime before 9am, leave before 5pm. Working from home is an option for most. The work is fun, demanding and sometimes rewarding

Cons

Dismal economic standing, limited promotions within, lots of management changes. Lots of good people laid off has meant that a lot of work has been left undone over the last year. Many of these holes have been unfilled, meaning that required stuff just doesn't get done.

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.
