Pros

Great benefits, access to media, and teamwork.

Cons

The President of the division is completely out of touch with the reality of production time frame and logistics, which results in a lot of frustration from the people who actually execute the work required.

Pros

- Great work-family balance. - Little work-related pressure to perform (pro for the empoyee, but bad for the company) - Pretty good benefits. - Friendly environment.

Cons

- The IT department became very poorly managed ever since they lost a great CIO mid-2002. - Professional advancement became impossible unless you were an unscrupulous political player, which inevitably led to decision-making positions being held by largely unqualified personnel. - A phrase often used by IT staff: "too many chiefs, not enough indians".
