Pros
- Great place for learning. They give you linked-in plus which has training videos of any technologies. - Unlimited vacations. - Little management oversite. You make up your schedule. - If you like contract work and out going, this is the place to be! - If you work on the AMDOCS side it can be amazing!
Kontras
- Little to no training. Learn as you go. If you're an introverted person, this may not be a place for you. Be aggressive and ask questions! - Lack of long term directions for career growth. You're thrown into a position and you have to work. - You're not salary, so you have to clock 45 hours a week. - You're a contractor, and some vendors are not helping in your training. - No real structure in how work is assigned (depending on the group). No scrum or anything but that depends on the vendor. - You're exposed to next gen technology but actually don't work on it depending on the group your in. - Unlimited vacation -- yeah there's a catch... You really can't take 2 weeks off, because of the nature of your work. You don't have a true backup like a normal company. - Generally not a good place for kids out of school because of the stress and nature of the work. It's better for an experienced developer. - I've never worked at a place before where they hire so many bad Java Developers and Java is an easy language.
