Pros

Great flexibility in ability to work in the office or at home (not applicable in all depts). Many truly great, smart peers to work with.

Cons

Elitism can sometimes run rampant. Some very (very) dumb ppl have kept their jobs for way longer than they should. Anything takes forEVER... too many hands in the decision-making pot / layers of bureaucracy. Oh, and we're "upgrading" to IE 7 (released in 2006), so most the websites you try and visit won't work.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
