Pros

Work life balance is pretty good and your schedule can be very flexible with options to work from home. We have one guy work in a state where no office is located so works at home all the time. You get to work with a lot of publishing technologies and learn a lot if desired to dig for that info. My team has hands off management but heard they poke around where not wanted.

Cons

You work with a lot of people who are not technical and manage you. You speak up and voice concerns and it's brushed aside. You may be the most technical person on your team with no help. Minimal appreciation for employees. Non technical management/employees lack soft skills.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
