Pros

diverse, easy to move between depts to learn new things, some very talented individuals, some very good managers. very competitive and fair compensation and benefits package

Cons

too much politics, and too many old senior management that dont understand new technology era. managers hesitant to let under-performers go, and overeager to promote sub-par staff, leading to a very clogged environment at MTS and up. promotion and pay raise program rewards employees for leaving, then coming back, instead of staying with the work place.

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.
