Legal - Typical Problems with a Big Place
Pros: Decent pay
Group I was in had flexible hours
Good management/supervision, but it is very dependent on who your supervisor is

Honestly as part time this was great, it can be good to get some experience in your area. However, I don't see it as being the fulfilling longstanding career that used to be attached with the IBM name.
Cons: Big place means a lot of bureaucracy
Suggestions often not implemented
Little upward mobility right now

Everyone is pretty stuck in their ways. The processes put in place can be super frustrating, and there are so many different groups that must work together to push a product out, yet nobody knows more than just what their group does. This makes communication difficult at times, slowing pushing out a product, which leads to everyone higher in the development chain putting unnecessary pressure on those lower in the chain.
