Pros

Nice people to work with day to day

Cons

Horrible management of a DC based company scattered between England and Denver. No long term planning but bad short term planning. Skilled and needed employees being outsourced. The company looks to have entered the classic death spiral of management failure, layoffs then more failure due to layoffs leading to more layoffs.

Pros

Good compensation. Company gives annual increases. Stay long enough, you can make a great salary.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Company regularly brings in consultants leading to regular layoffs that seem to be tied to how much you make.
