Pros

Catered food daily Beautiful office location Lovely conference rooms Snacks of all kinds Free coffee

Cons

Aggressive/hostile management Incompetent managers happy to lay blame and insult you if something goes awry No established processes of any validity "Wall street" atmosphere - very much a "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" attitude towards everything No work/life balance - the expectation is that you work until you drop since most of the management and senior staff are workaholics who stay until very late.

Pros

Decent pay Decent benefits Some very nice people

Cons

Major facetime culture - if you are an in office employee there is little flexibility. Very old fashioned company - you have to play the game Management sometimes makes choices that can make employees feel shafted or disrespected
