Pros

The work is easy, and the pay isn't too bad. Depending on what you do, the work/life balance is great. Occasional opportunities to travel and attend events.

Cons

They don't really care about their employees. I witnessed several rounds of layoffs during my handful of years here, and the reactions of my bosses and higher-ups were always apathetic and focused on what's "best for the business." They don't do yearly reviews or raises. I even got a promotion without a raise. After being laid off without any prior warning, they only gave me 4 weeks of pay as severance. I also felt like everyone was pretty mediocre at their jobs, partly because of the company culture. One executive actually told us the company prides itself on running "mean and lean." I came away from the job with very few new skills. Work here if you need a steady income as soon as possible, but keep your options open. They don't care about you.
