Pros

Good coworkers, good location, interesting work

Cons

Executive staff have given up pretending to care about their employees and are just grinding them into dust to get whatever they can out of them. I really enjoyed working there at first, and I had some great coworkers, but I am so glad to have gotten out. There has been a ton of attrition (and layoffs) and I don't know anyone who is *happy* to work there - at best, they're just happy to not be unemployed.
