Pros

My colleagues are wonderful. Supportive, interesting, competent, hardworking. Full range of benefits. Cafeteria and in-house library a plus. Free parking lot.

Cons

Used to be a good place to work, until 2007 when they started reorganizing. Since then they have been chipping away at the work force, entire wings of the building nearly empty. Reorganizations each year, shuffling managers and staff so often it makes it difficult to get any work done because one is constantly trying to figure out new workflows. Ridiculous deadlines for those who are left. Lay off 150 people then send a corporate correspondence around bragging about leading market share, top sales and excellent results. Morale is extremely low, mistrust and disgust extremely high. Everyone expects to be the next one cut, so loyalty is a thing of the past.

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.
