Pros

Somewhat flexible (depending on your department/leadership), nice office with cafeteria and Starbucks

Cons

Culture reminds me of being back in high school, turnover is crazy, leadership is very old school, no bonus incentive unless you are high up, benefits are just ok but nothing to write home about. Absolutely no room for advancement

Pros

Vertical movement is quick and opportunity is ample. Great environment for those who enjoy working their own pace and methods. Good if feeling overwhelmed by HR and team building shenanigans

Cons

Hang oneself easily. In certain areas is a hire and fire drill. Nepotism can be found heavy in many areas. Often, dinosaurs rule these lands and upheaval is career suicide

Poor middle and upper management

Pros

Um, there's a cafeteria. The people who work there are ncie. I made some good friends in the office after bonding from our misery of working there.

Cons

Numerous people in middle and upper management positions are pathetically unqualified for their positions and lack majorly in leadership skills. The more detrimental an employee is to the company, the better protected they are by management and HR. I watched a lot of talented people leave the company due to issues wtih these managers and "leaders". Meetings can be a joke, the pettiness between teams and even teammates is often expressed unprofessionally during meetings, no one could get along which is clearly hurting business decisions. Morale was very low when I left a few months ago which the leadership team either doesn't care about or is too ignorant to notice. It was rare to go a week, or even a few days, without someone on my team crying. At work.
