Wouldn't Recommend a Job There to My Worst Enemy!

Pros

There are some very talented, hard-working people there who manage to get things done despite having the deck stacked against them from day one. Pay and benefits are also decent.

Cons

Politics play way too much of a role there. Company tends to favor incompetent management who are good at political games than hard working employees who want to see actual change for the better. Most competent employees are treated like dirt unless they are lucky enough to have a decent manager. You can also forget about having a life outside the company if you want to advance your career - the second you stop working 24-7, you are blackballed and up for demotion/RIF at the first opportunity.
