Pros

* Employees are treated well and with respect. * Work vs. family life is never an issue. * Friendly coworkers and relaxed atmosphere. * Good benefits package. * Continuing education is encouraged.

Cons

* Managers are afraid to give honest estimates, therefore impossible deadlines & ensuing schedule overrun are the norm. * Managers are not technical so they let programmers run the show. * No software development process used for any project (not even waterfall). * Making necessary infrastructure changes is harder than pulling teeth.
