Pros

May look good on the CV, pays above market average.

Cons

Perhaps 90% of your time is paper work and chasing other teams, not really doing what you've studied and know.

Good Benefits...Small Chance for Promotion

Anonymous employee

Pros

Very flexible with work from home (at least in my group); 3 weeks' vacation to start. Lots of different career paths available.

Cons

It's nearly impossible to get promoted. You can apply for a higher-level job, but corporate policy prohibits you from having a higher job title (or the compensation that goes with it), even if you are offered the position. So...more work, same pay, and no more respect.
