Pros

Great BI product, nice to have an on-site gym (even though it is small) and good people

Cons

- Extremely top heavy (everyone is a Vice President) - Opportunity for growth is very limited - Executives receive exorbitant bonuses (unfortunately this seems rampant everywhere) - The company does not know how to budget. Money is spent frivolously on toys (technology) for the executives - Laying people off seems to be an event that occurs every few years - Money is not invested in employee development - Some of the decision makers have zero to very little experience in areas they are managing, which can be extremely frustrating
