Pros
Cool cars when they worked. The invaluable lessons learned from the disgusting emotional games that were honestly well played. The blatant, wide spread drug use was fun! If your goal is to see the worst humans have to offer in the workplace this is the spot for you! Moving up was relatively easy for the chosen few, a bathroom bump and hump is all it took. If you did find yourself in a sticky situation that would make the company/tech look bad, no worries because they will cover it all up and still keep you working until you’re no longer needed.
Cons
Upper management, middle management, all management especially the HR department. The complete disregard for the humanity of operators. The social/political tactics used by far are some of the most vile and amazingly well executed I’m a bit jealous. They are predatory sociopaths and very adept at exploiting personal issues and working as a well oiled pack to systematically break you down so you quit or stop caring entirely so they fire you. Every day was a slow drip of your existence being squeezed out of you drop by drop, all while your tormentors smiled and said good job everyone while simultaneously picking the next groups of stragglers to make an example of. But if you were one of the actual good ones taking true pride in what you did and exceeded the standards, oh they took delight in making sure they broke you down proper and with devastating precision.
