Pros

Small teams can be good depending on manager

Cons

Bad office, poor budget for staff events, dying office culture, poor decision making by upper management. Progress and ownership are not rewarded. Bad decisions aren’t punished and just swept under the rug. When things are good - they’re average. When things are bad they’re extremely bad.

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.
