Pros

None that would make your work experience worthwhile. Perhaps free coffee to keep you going 14/15 hours a day, and free bananas on Mondays!

Cons

- Working round the clock - forget your life outside the office - Terrible working conditions - Extremely extremely extremely rude scientific managers, SVP, and lead accounts staff - If you are not SVP you are VERY dispensable, they will use you and abuse (and I do not use the word abuse lightly here) you till your project is over, then simply get rid of you or push you to resign - HR does not care about the employees or their situations, forget ever going to HR with problems - A current employee was pressured to withdraw a very negative review on here and penalized for it - just speaks for the tyranny in that place - No proper communication between staff and their managers - Overall chaos and lack of planning/organization - This is a revolving doors company, everybody starts looking for a new job within months of their start date, time when they reach a breaking point - No happy faces around, only grim complaining people all day, all week, every week, every month - Gossip culture - Very loud environment so if you want to focus on any work bring your super sound proof ear plugs to the office (even that won't help)

Pros

New regime may finally consolidate companies. I had good managers.

Cons

After years of senior management pitches and dismal results the morale gets blase'.
