Pros

Lovey building, great coworkers, good pay

Cons

Don't know where to start, I think the number of employees leaving or looking says a lot. Projects are a death march employees and contractors in our department work nights weekends and holidays. Upper Mangment serves as task mangers rather than managing. True effort to complete projects is not captured so estimated time is never enough. Vendodor teams are switched mid project making subject matter experts non existent. Full time employees were laid of and forced to reapply a small number of positions and the rest of positions were filled by contractors. Ratings are given on a curve hard work and excessive hours are not compensated and first line mangers have no time to help with caree path. Culture is toxic and employees and vendors are unhappy and overworked.
