Pros

The people are the reason to work here. There are a lot of good people. The good hiring practice has dropped off, but there are still plenty of great people.

Cons

Has become a management-heavy organization. There are a lot of managers focusing only on staying above their reports. A recent transaction with BGI and very aggressive attitude towards those employees has put a damper on the culture and enjoyment of working here.
