Pros

It has heat and air conditioning.

Cons

It was a nice place to work until the company was taken over by new management a few years ago. The place is driven by fear, tacit threats and overt intimidation. Deadlines are unrealistic, with many overtime hours without compensation or recognition. Middle management is a collage of odious buffoons, imbeciles, and bullies. Cubicles are tiny, and they pack us in like sardines. They took away telecommuting, gradually making it suck more and more to work there, as if they are testing our breaking point. Most of the managers in my department had no insurance or financial background; I believe they were hired based upon their ability to bully and intimidate. They would shout at us and drop f-bombs, in meetings and on the floor. I have seen women driven to tears by tirades over minor oversights. I am sure the managers never read the HR policy on Civil Treatment. I was in the business for over thirty years, and I never worked at a place worse than this. A back-stabbing environment where there is zero trust among employees and everyone fears the managers. And if you make a mistake, you will be treated at best to a public chewing-out. Keel-hauling is the preferred method of discipline. Avoid this toxic place at all costs.
