Pros

Projects are interesting, pay is good, benefits are good. You are busy during the day but generally you have a good work life balance and management is very receptive when you ask for more help. 3 days a week in office + free lunch. No one will yell at you when you mess up.

Cons

They rely heavily on contractors, it appears they do a lot of hiring in fall but start doing layoffs in summer. Usually full timers are fine but you'll suddenly find yourself with a much larger workload due to losing so many people at once
