Pros

Nothing - working here has wasted my time and energy, and prevented me from developing my career which I could have done if I were working elsewhere.

Cons

Lack of equal employment opportunity; blocking of promotional entitlement; career progression and promotions are thrown to white people on the basis of favouritism when these people lack any real talent qualifications or skills and are damaging the organisation; white people form groups and discriminate against and victimise all other staff to prevent them from being promoted; overworked and underpaid; zero recognition; ongoing harassment and bullying in the workplace; non-existent toxic and hostile work culture; filing complaints to HR is a waste of time as they do not take them seriously and only cover management's misconduct.

Pros

paid well, honored sick leave and FMLA, reasonable benefits,

Cons

They don't actually pay bonuses, or at least not to new hires who fall through the cracks of team and project assignments - and they'll claim it's that person's fault with no way to change what's happening around them. Management supports discriminatory and bullying behavior regarding who gets billable work, who attends meetings and on-sites, etc. Mostly, men go and only younger or non-technical women. They had men present women's work as their own. If you protest too much, you're on the radar for life and anything you say can be misconstrued. You'll be told to not criticize or disparage coworkers, even though they all criticize you constantly.
