Pros

Since you're working in the customer's office a lot of benefits are provided by default by customer, such as free meals, gym, parking. The projects might be interesting, though they are short-termed (around a year) and usually are internal to customer. There are external projects, but they are usually in maintenance mode. Lots of possibilities to improve company's internal processes and directors are agreeing with employees initiatives to lead the improvement. Not bad relocation process.

Cons

Lack of leadership: couple of times I heard from managers: "we're going to do whatever we're paid for". Lack of clarity in processes: performance reviews exist, but means nothing in terms of salary raise or promotion. No technical mentoring, resource managers are unable to advice on how to improve as an engineer.

Pros

Usually good from technology point of view. Being a multinational outsourcing company, if you get bored with a project, you don't have to change the company just the project (in theory at least). Short projects are good to learn learn new things. Assorted colleagues, not much 'difficult personalities'.

Cons

Senior title also means less room for salary development later on! Being not obviously a senior, be conscious upon signing (or not signing) your job contract. Demand is yet high for IT professionals, negotiate shamelessly (salary, benefits). Three types of projects. Endless ones (processes and used technology settled for a long time which may not be good in a long term), short ones (like a vending machine - technology varies on a wide scale, may be great or terrible but you won't know in advance; you even may end up cooperating with colleagues from Russia who translate English using google) and internal ones (it is hard to keep up your enthusiasm). Tradeoffs everywhere. The 'old' office is like a huge and overstuffed shed. The air conditioning (oxygen content, heat and humidity) is terrible. The only company where I never had a real team building! (It is an important indicator, if you know what I mean.)

Pros

Very good insurance and health benefits. Very good relocation and travel packages. Pretty good company if you looking for something to start.

Cons

The management structure is not very clear and obvious, some process like weekly review are not built completely.
