Pros

There are not many, if any good reasons to work for STG. The only good reason I can think of to work for STG is a steady pay check for the short term.

Cons

There is no appreciation or respect for employees, management is incompetent and decisions/promotions/raises are completely political in nature. It is not what you know or what you do, its who you know. Upper management is too greedy with the distribution of wealth, leaving employees with only crumbs.

Pros

It's a large company with a lot of different opportunities. If you choose you won't get bored. They also are pretty good with work/life balance.

Cons

The bureaucracy is painful. Way too many project managers collecting status and bothering others doing real work. Not very agile in projects. It is hard to change positions within the company. Easier to leave.

Pros

Employee competance, in my experience, is outstanding. Engineers and most management personnel are very intelligent.

Cons

Workload is extremelly overwhelming most of the time. It is uncomfortable to address this issue because all employees, including management, are in the same boat. Many times management is not on-site, which makes confronting workplace issues difficult.
