Pros

You definitely will not be bored here as a new grad, as they have you starting on projects after initial day onboarding. The environments I worked in were pretty collaborative and team-oriented. Good benefits and bonus program.

Cons

Work-life balance is awful. Unless you want to be thought of as an awful, lazy employee, you're expected to work crazy hours. This means working at 2 am multiple days a week, even after working normal day hours, and sometimes on weekends. Otherwise, it's 12+ hour days for teams that only operate during business days. People who do nothing are not punished; instead, other team members are expected to pick up their slack.

Advice to Management

Hire managers that actually understand projects, not just have 10+ years of experience.
