Pros

- flex schedules for better work/life balance - lots of social activities to participate in - comfortable open work spaces

Cons

- overly bureaucratic - no long term vision, only short term goals - "cost cutting" and layoffs constantly but refuse to give up wasteful spending - unwilling to evolve in changing times - very poor management with virtually no decisions making capacity (all talk but no action)
