Pros

Good opportunity for growth IF you are willing to give up balance of family work. Culture has changed for the positive. No more carpeting on the cubicles. Better atmosphere, meeting rooms and cafeteria.

Cons

Senior mgt asks for input and opinions but doesn't really care. New senior mgt that loves the big picture and doesn't understand what it takes to get things done. Will churn through people without hesitation. HR department is as cold hearted as the last WI winter. Pay us below average.

Pros

I can't think of any. This was a miserable place to work.

Cons

Everybody is fake. You know the big company corporate types that will put on a fake smile and lie directly to your face. If you want to be forgotten at your company and experience no career growth regardles how much work you put in, this is the place for you. Hey, you never know, if you work really hard they might throw you a pizza party.
