Pros

- The work/life balance is usually good, some departments are better than others - Aside from a very small number, the people are awesome to work with - Fairly low stress environment - A good place to start your career

Cons

- Lower on the pay scale than comparable tech companies - Management tends to favor chatty order-takers over successful deliverers - Toxic "performers" are supported by management until they're a litigation risk or hang themselves with their own actions - Very limited advancement opportunity, you can hit the ceiling quick - Product management has been in disarray for 5+ years - Design/User Experience, research, or data driven design, has never been a management initiative - You go through re-org about once a year
