Pros

Some of the people there were nice and intelligent.

Cons

Things you should know: - Management are monitoring your computer activity - This company is not entirely corrupt, but they blur the lines between ethical and unethical, at least that's how it was in the accounting department. - They changed their Wikipedia page to give it a diversity slant after the government came down on them for discriminatory hiring practices. - Bullying employees is a strategy management use to control employees. Institutionalized public humiliation and passive aggressive manipulation are tools that help tow the line on employees that don't fit the mold. - There's a likelihood you will leave this company dumber than when you arrived. - Physical attractiveness will carry you far here.
