Pros

We could drink at work (also a con). Snacks were cool. Lunch was good but not realistic.

Cons

Too top heavy.... Two VPs of HR? Okay..., over staffed, too many people on one any given project, resulting in spinning wheels and "he said/she said." Lack of support from a manager that was more of a people pleaser, caved to the business instead of doing the right thing. A lot of clicky immature behavior, talking behind co-works backs, and not fully embracing new employees. Once there was a target on your back there was no getting rid of it. Marked for the "life" or until they started to crumble under mismanagement and an unsustainable culture of "give give give" and "me me me" and laid off hundreds of employees.

Pros

Their IT department was initially challenging to work for but once I got in the groove it was fairly smooth sailing.

Cons

Some departments were not on the same page and hampered communication.
