Pros

Pay is a little higher, you will likely get a bump in your current job title which is just a recruiting tactic because they can't get employees. Word is out on the street and everyone is catching on that any job here is short lived. Yes they have some long term employees but they only keep them for their legacy knowledge otehrwise they would have enbe gone by now as well.

Cons

After you are drawn in by the offer of an inflated job title you wouldn't see elsewhere and higher pay. You will also get a % of salary company performance bonus, but they don't pay it because they cant perform. Customers are terminating contracts for non performance frequently. They will then suplement bonus nonpayment with employee stock awards that will never vest because you will likely be laid off before they do. I have seen 4 lay-off's in 3 years and I am on my 5th manager. Research it, that is fact.

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
