Good perks, but highly highly political place

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, great perks, nice offices

Cons

Of all the places I've worked, this is by far the most political place I've ever seen. Some people at certain levels (not even exec level) have carte blanche to treat people like crap, create blank checks for their projects, and break rules and protocols. These people are also allowed to be rude and defensive if ever questioned.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is great. The company is known for very intricate and complicated transactions allowing you the ability to learn a lot if you are willing to take the time time to teach yourself.

Cons

Management is very difficult to work for. Very demanding and not flexible. If management asks for something you need to drop everything to provide to them no matter what you are working on. Management has no respect of your time or the day to day work you are preforming. Office environment is very hostile.
