Pros
Decent office location, benefits were average.
Cons
Building A/C flatout didn't work properly leaving one side approximately 20 degrees warmer than the other. No opportunity for promotion within the company. No matter what was accomplished over a year, the employee review process would still make you fight to justify simply continuing to work there. Middle management positions were constantly shifting sometimes causing your chain of command to change 4 times a year(yes, every quarter). Equipment budgets for engineering departments beyond retail routers were minimal. The general culture of the office including company sponsored events could be best described as something that requires constant tip-toeing.
