Pros

*Semi-annual compensation adjustments (depends on group and supervisor) *Good (albeit overly rigorous) training program *Hours are very flexible *Overtime as desired *401K match

Cons

*Pay on the low end of competitive *Working with supervisors, advancement paths are outlined. Often times these seem like a bit of a pipe dream as more senior positions are continually hired out. I've only seen one case of hiring out senior analyst positions in my 4 years that looks to actually have made sense and paid off *Project managers can have unrealistic expectations about timelines

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
