Pros

Pay is good for the area, great people to work with

Cons

Outdated tools and systems, divisions pitted against each other rather than working together, caustic environment. Management is rewarded for suppressing and taking credit for subordinates. Penny pinching goes to unrealistic limits. Generally, overqualified people are hired and encouraged to negatively compete with colleagues for very limited opportunities to advance. You have to be a certain kind of person to be most successful here - that would include sharp and witted to override anything else anyone says, and a willingness to attack your colleagues into submission.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
