Pros

Several great experienced employees to learn from if they havent be let go or left. Pay and benifits are typical. Dont expect any bonus or recognition no matter how hard you work.

Cons

Senior management has no vision or direction. Then they lay off the most experienced employees including sales when work is needed. Life expectancy for project managers is very short don't expect to stay long. This is the biggest complain of all their major customers. Don't be surprised if you're forced to work weekends including Sundays. This was a good place to work at until the new management starting reorganizing.
