Pros

The people there are on the whole quite nice, and the salaries are reasonable

Cons

Firstly, there are no vacation, it has to be acrued with one day a month. I for one have never seen this before. A recent cost saving and a way to gain more from the beleagured employee. Work rate is very high, you want burn out and no value, work here. A lot of politics, and everything has deteriorated. The facilities are pretty dire, every thing is old from the coffee machine to vending machine. No investment in facilities at all. In order to fake value, HR do free HR things such as tell you where the food truck is ! Just a really bad work place. Who don't care about their staff, except some managemnet who are beyond unpleasant.
