Pros

A paycheck (and a mediocre one at that), most of the people are pleasant, work experience to put down on your resume while you search for another one.

Cons

Long hrs, there can be long blackouts for vacation time, annual raises are insulting (if you get one at all), depending on the project you might be overloaded with work, no career movement, upper management is clueless, the company did poorly in getting new projects for certain areas so even if you just worked your butt off on your last project you might still be laid off. Bench policy is awful (120 hrs) and severance package is just as bad (2 weeks per every year up to 4 years - so max is 8 weeks of pay). HR is notorious for not announcing changes in their policies so you might find out the hard way that they just found a new way to not give you a severance package.

Pros

Friendly lower level employees. Some people actually really care about their work.

Cons

bad management and VERY political. You need to kiss ass in order to climb the corporate ladder. There is absolutely no room for advancement what-so-ever. Some employees are overworked and underpaid.

Pros

Literally nothing good to say at all

Cons

The office culture is abysmal. Not only is sexual harassment tolerated, but it's encouraged. I reported a team lead for sexual harassment because she made wildly inappropriate comments about a coworker's body (on not one, but two occasions). When I told my supervisor what happened, she told me it was just a joke and that it was a part of Black culture that I don't understand (said supervisor is not Black herself). Then she promised me that the team lead would not be allowed in our office anymore. The team lead continued to come in every day without consequence. Not only that, but my supervisor told her that I reported her, and then the entire office I work in talked about me behind my back for being "sensitive." I feel gaslit and shunned for speaking up for what I thought was right. That same team lead came into our office every day bragging about one of the adjudicators she's sleeping with and I was expected to simply keep my mouth shut and tolerate it. It's ridiculous. I've observed so much hostility and bad-mouthing behind peoples' backs on a daily basis. It's literally like high school all over again. Another one of my coworkers caught my supervisor talking loudly about me in the hall because I had to take time off for a doctor's appointment and apparently that would affect her bonus. Nothing is private and there is very little respect that people have for each other.
