Pros

Some great and intelligent coworkers. Some good management. Flexible hours. Severance package.

Cons

Sweat shop conditions - their work/life balance consists of all work, no breaks. Employees belong to the company 24/7/365. Plan to work without breaks, sleep - even on family vacations. No concern for family or health. Expensive benefits. Personal opinions, biases, and which projects you end up on determine your annual evaluation with zero chance for rebuttal. Evaluation methodology leads to a competitive work environment with many unwilling to help others. Too many employees that know and do very little. Too much outsourcing to insure any measure of quality.

Cons

-Office politics promote plenty of people who don't deserve it and the teams happiness is highly dependent upon who you end up reporting to -WAY too much false urgency created by bad leaders -Big company means slow moving in all the stuff you want to go fast. Often times too many cooks in the kitchen
