Pros

Cutting edge problems to solve....

Cons

but trying (unsuccessfully) to solve cutting-edge problems with off-the-shelf solutions. The team I belonged to was essentially reduced to application engineers providing support rather than innovators. Career development opportunities within the company were non-existent.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
