Pros

Company culture was great. Very flexible with allowing employees to work when they want. Laid back environment.

Cons

The industry is dying. Many of the employees were older, not very many younger employees. The commute also sucks.

Pros

Good compensation. Focused on trying to make this tight industry work. The workload is pretty light. Bonus is great as long as the bar has been passed.

Cons

No meritocracy, insular culture on both the legacy sides. Tops down decision making leaves no room for innovation let alone incremental improvement. Leaders think they know everything.
