Pros

Payroll is 14 day cycle... If that's a good thing

Cons

Antiquated, monolithic, dictatorial, bad IT, bad internal tools They block internet access, you cannot use git over ssh. No aws cli because it's blocked by acl too... No home office, no parking spot unles 'you are important', no paid overtime but still expect you to work 50+ hours a week. No follow up when quitting, no legal process, very bad HR/payroll people.

Pros

Pay and work/life balance are usually ok

Cons

Benefits below average for the industry, no real growth. If your project ends you will most probably be out of job. (this is a particular issue for Mexico)
