Business Outlook

Pros

Great company and benefits, lots of knowledgeable people and ample contracts to keep things moving. Great source of 'breadth' knowledge

Cons

Little 'depth' knowledge. Very big projects often lead to time being wasted and allow unmotivated employees to continue working. Promotions do not seem to be based on contributions but rather time with the company.
