Pros

Discounted text books. Several departments give you a laptop that you can take home and use personally (though don't let IT support know).

Cons

Micromanagement from senior managers and directors. Very low morale. No work/life balance; demands to work weekends and evenings constantly. Ongoing high stress. Poor planning and execution of plans. No progress opportunities. incurable leadership incompetence. Utter dishonesty from management, they tell you one thing then do another. Miserable working conditions.

Pros

From home and relaxed working environment

Cons

They never know when the project will end or start so you can’t line up other work. Projected end 16th and we end 10 days early? Thats a lot of wages now I don’t have.
