Pros

Lots of decent, sociable and fun people do work there. The benefits package is competitive. The canteen occasionally does good soup.

Cons

You advance in this company purely by brown-nosing. Senior management are completely out of touch with their staff. If you are senior enough, incompetence is ignored. Sometimes it is rewarded.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
