Pros

Nice people to work with. Flexible work schedule, especially when starting your family. Competitive salary to start with, but do not expect any raise or promotion. No job growth.

Cons

Constant layoffs. Incompetent management; promotions are based on the 'Golf Buddy' system. Major projects go to the top echelon (paper pushers) even though the actual work is being done by other staff. No recognition or promotion if you are not part of the manager's Golf Buddy Circle. No job growth or advancement. No education benefits. Expect layoffs every year.
