Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn new technologies. Dynamic, lively environment.

Cons

High staff attrition. Management believe "Developers are a Dime a Dozen" and "Subject Matter Expertise is unimportant" and then questions why solutions are not being delivered in a timely fashion.

Good if you like sports and internal politics

Pros

If you like sports it's amazing. Need to take a Day off to go to a game? No problem. Talking sports is part of the culture. Everybody there loves sports. Lots of different business units so there's room to move laterally and sometimes upwards.

Cons

A bit of a monoculture especially since you're in rural Connecticut. The pay is crappy and inequitable - you can be doing the same job as your cube neighbor and making 20k less than they are. Political and somewhat corporate.

Pros

Great people, cool environment and fun building. Not uncommon to see someone famous in the building. Really nice management and getting to go to Bristol is fun. Great job if you're right out of college.

Cons

Pay is pretty low and it's hard to move up. The work load is pretty intense and the steps needed to get promoted are pretty tough.
