Pros

Not too busy with the job. Work athmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Quite much freedom how to complete tasks.

Cons

Work was many times meaningless. Why to put effort if results were wasted. Management didn't understand what they want to create. Managers spent lot of money for their own good, for example business trips without any agenda. Managers didn't have any competence.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
