Pros
Good work-life balance, very casual working environment (wear jeans and hoodies if you want), good location in the Loop. Managers easy to talk to.
Cons
Seems to suffer from being an early-dotcom and as a result, is not too keen on updating practices, which was a big turn off. Not many opportunities to move up, teams are over-managed, too many meetings, poorly-performing colleagues are not properly handled, their work is put on other team members and the lackluster employee can skate along doing minimal work, seemingly forever. Middle-management is often afraid of calling people out or being "bad cops." I left in 2011, before they were sold. I've been told it's even worse now.
