Pros

Great pay, nice campus location, friendly co-workers, technology is better after Windows/Office upgrade

Cons

Poor communication from management; complex corporate structure makes it hard to know who to listen to or follow; constantly-changing directives really interrupts progress and project completion; some management has been there too long and is not competent; seems like they reward more for longevity than performance
