Pros

Some dedicated people, felt your work could make a difference, 25 cent sodas, cake day.

Cons

Treated contractors poorly, new ideas were publicly encouraged but never executed, total backstabbing culture, way too many upper level managers getting involved at the 11th hour after making no contribution throughout projects. if you're in the clique, then you're safe. if not, watch out. Not much emphasis on innovation.

Pros

Really sharp, smart people to work with, and overall I'd say many people are happy to work for the company

Cons

Tremendous working hours, most departments feel short staffed and overworked. The potential for burn out is high. It can feel a lot like individuals are working for the 'idea of the day' and that upper management can suffer from Shiney Toy Syndrome much too often.

Pros

Within my department, little to no pressure to work overtime. Good opportunities to transfer to other positions within the firm to make best use of one's abilities.

Cons

Viper's nest of interdepartmental politics; instead of acting as colleagues, members of other departments would lie to shift blame for missed deadlines. Profits tied to ability to make very tight, pre-set and inflexible deadlines. Unrealistic goals set by people with no knowledge of human ability to attain them. Senior management completely out of touch with realities of everyday work or unable to hold sway with decision makers. CYA all the way.
