IBM Services Center - Lansing (formerly Michigan Delivery Center)
Pros: They'll hire just about anyone who has the word "Java" on their resume. Fairly laid back atmosphere. Great for a first job out of college. Chance to get real industry experience with fortune 500 companies. Great benefits on day 1.
Cons: Lowest salaries in the field. Overtime exempt. Clients can be downright abusive (in terms of work/life balance) and give impossible deadlines. I know people who have been flown to a client site and worked 10+ hour days every day for a month, and only got to fly back for a day and a half to see their families.
