Pros
  • Plenty of client opportunities if you have the experience, especially if you're near a major metro region.
  • Fair amount of flexibility if your manager is understanding, which is often the case.
  • Great name recognition and great culture.
  • Training opportunities.
Cons

Even with their regional initiative, the commute is often still incredibly long, as their regions are very large.

Mediocre pay, at least for a software dev position.

Not much regard to work-life balance.

If you are entry-level or have relatively little experience, the quantity of opportunities is very limited. In addition, a lot of the training, at least when I trained, seemed to try to corral people into software dev even if that wasn't directly their background/career goals.

At least in my case, the team I was placed in was so streamlined that there often wasn't enough redundancy in case issues occurred.

Advice to Management

None really. Changes are being made, so hopefully they are for the better.
