Pros

The salary and benefits are good. There is usually an annual increase based on performance and there are opportunities to earn promotions and raises.

Cons

Work life balance can suffer because of the demands for billability. Some people were stretched very thin. The biggest problem now is the constant change. They have been restructuring and reorganizing for the past few years and it never seems to stop, which impedes progress. Just when you start to get used to a structure and chain of command, it changes again and is followed by layoffs. People are a bit anxious about their job security, and rightly so.
