Pros

The division I work in has a very free-spirited attitude. There are games and activities that allow the staff to mingle inside and outside of the office. Well stocked pantries and other cafeteria style amenities are great for 2nd/3rd shifters. They do well at providing you top-notch equipment to do your job.

Cons

Expect to deal with a constant lack of staffing and lack of information travel each day... often being promised that your concerns are heard but with little or no progress. There is little communication between departments so trying to get a task finished can be a bit of a hassle. Management seems to only find certain issues pressing, more often than not, they are not issues that are customer-critical. Expect an excessive amount of duties to be assigned that are not related to your job because no other department wants them. Due to the reactive nature of the company (at least this portion of the company) do not expect any sort of career advancement.
