Pros

Lots of training resources available.

Cons

Top-down management style.

"Sweatshop"-style mentality of maximum output for minimum cost, with no focus on quality.

All that matters is billable hours.

No free coffee; bring your own from home.

Won't give you the tools needed to do your job.

Doesn't respect employees.

You must work at least 44 hours a week, or management will be angry with you.

Wastes your time with numerous all-hands meetings.

Small workspace.

Too many mandatory trainings, which you must do on your own free time without pay.

No overtime pay, just time off.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees like people.
