Pros

Work / Life balance. Work from home. Auto contribution to 401k

Cons

Too big, a lot of slackers. Very difficult to "work your way up" as all future raises will be based upon your incoming salary with a 5% promotional cap. 5% of nothing is nothing, even though the nothing is backed by an MBA (3.9 GPA). Will be moving on......

Pros

There is flexibility in the job and can work from at least some of the time on most projects.

Cons

Utilization and sales are key drivers and focus can be on those instead of on the individuals. The work life balance can be very challenging at times.

Pros

Steady work at my present position, which pays my mortgage.

Cons

No respect, no additionial training that is job related, too many chiefs and not enough indians, speak of indians, most of our jobs are being sent off shore to India. Too many hoops to jump through to get a simple task completed. Each year they come through with a 'LEAN Team' that they LEAN out the worker bees, but maintain all of the middle and upper management.
