Pros

Exposure to enterprise IT systems & major clients, some dedicated, polite and talented developers.

Cons

Too many to list - Developers are treated extremely poorly at this place. I've witnessed bullying from middle management, coercion to work weekends to the point that staff members cried because they just wanted to see their families for one weekend and were missing their children growing up. Some genuinely nasty characters have free reign and take full advantage of the tenuous position of 'on shoring' staff - hanging the threat of being sent home over their heads like the sword of damocles while demanding overtime. Depressing to witness, avoid. It's probably even illegal. Find somewhere more progressive.
