Pros

Good benefits, but it takes a while to qualify for them. Cafe is convenient. Nothing else good to say, really.

Cons

This place stinks. I've never worked anywhere with such wide discontent among its employees. Constant reorg and project changes. Very poor communication from management. I only saw my boss once a month, no joke. Coworkers are very cliquish. The work is boring. Posters are hung all over the office encouraging employees to work "anytime and anywhere." This company wants to make sure you know that they own you! Horrible pay. So glad I escaped!

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.
