Pros

Flexible work schedules, good people, overall company values are good. Great for working mothers.

Cons

Lack of training budgets. Lack of development budgets. This business unit has recently thrown all its eggs into one basket. Botched reorg has left very few to wear many hats. Publishing teams feel unsupported. Personally, I've seen 6 straight years of increased responsibilities without significant pay increase. Excuses abound.

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.
