Pros

Great Location, "9 to 5" work pace, co-workers generally very kind

Cons

Schizophrenic management that lacks focus, lack of trust in judgement of subordinates, tendency to micromanage. Several high level managers where incompetent and control freaks, their bosses were unwilling or unable to recognize the problems and take corrective action before these people "poisoned" the company and the culture.
