Pros

-Good to write on resume -You will have enough work to do if you are a workaholic

Cons

-People back stab more often than you would imagine. -I have worked with some terrible seniors who lack appropriate morale. Many of them just consider the staffs as a tool rather than a person. -Work/Life balance is terrible during busy season. Expect to leave work around midnight or even later. -The company pretends that it cares about your personal development and career, but it only is interested in how much they can utilize you for their benefit. -Corporate-like culture with a good number of cocky people. -Pay is low. Lower than the mid-size firms. If you calculate the hourly rate, it would be not that different from the minimum wage.

Pros

Good Benefits - Get the week of the fourth of July and the week of Christmas off every year.

Cons

They say we are doing well but everyone is stagnant. No real opportunities to get promoted or raises. Gone through 3 layoffs. Management says that no one is leaving because they love working there but no one is leaving because the market is bad. That is the reason for a backlog of folks trying to move up.
