Pros
Much of the staff is dedicated and helpful. The small tech company I worked at was bought by Ascend. It had a similar vibe to a video game studio, where much of development staff would likely be working if that industry was bigger in NY.
Cons
Turnover is through the roof. No one stays longer than a couple years, and for good reason. Employees are talked down to and taken advantage of. Self-serving climbers take advantage of how out of touch management is to secure roles for themselves at the expense of competent staff. Upper management is broken beyond repair. Some are incompetent hires only around due to nepotism. Some are self-important bullies. Giant parent corporation constantly lies to employees to cheat them out of benefits and opportunities. HR is their tool to do so.
