Pros

The paycheck I receive every two weeks is the most pleasurable part of this place. The people I work with are the second...mostly good people who have original thoughts and good skills.

Cons

Upper management (I'd call them leadership but they couldn't lead themselves out of a wet paper sack with a gaping hole) provides lip service to employees about the state of the organization. I can tell you what that is...it's in trouble. Working here can be equated to working as a dung beetle: sure it's a job but you work with crap all day long.

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.
