      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work is pretty easy, lots of BAU work Large company, which means there is room to laterally move around Good if you want to move into a managerial role Telecommuting possible

      Cons

      Lots of red tape Soft skills (politics) valued much higher than technical competency Very few highly technical positions, which means advancement peaks early Teams usually consist of 80% contractors and 20% employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Blue box values. They promote work/life balance, they try to life the values. Flexible schedule. Excellent opportunity to learn and receive training.

      Cons

      Performance management is not standard, that depends on how your leader represents you during the evaluation; however at the end your leader do not have influence in your review. There is a lot duplication on work depending on the department you work for.
