Pros

Huge marquee names on your resume A lot of good people to work with who make it bearable to work so many hours A hard job that makes later jobs seem easy. Seriously, the real world outside of the walls of wsod is a lot easier to excel in when you've done your time there.

Cons

Insular culture that will attempt to emotionally involve you with your work and coworkers Complicated internal processes that take a long time to learn to be good at your job but are useless knowledge in the outside world A strange shared hallucination that wsod is some kind of extraordinary opportunity and a special place to be. It's not, or at least not anymore. Each and every project from start to "finish" is broken and a disaster. Nothing happens on time, on budget, or to the quality everyone pays lip service to providing. The entire business model is to get the sites on the servers and to overcharge clients as long as they're hosting there. Development and design work are commodities basically given away for free. Clients don't respect this work, they want it done

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
