Pros

Nice product. Great co-workers. Good benefit package. Just changed vacation plan to be more competitive.

Cons

3-4 white guys in a room decide your fate--what you will do, where you will sit, who you will report to--based on ?? No one seems to know because they have never spoken to you and your manager can't answer the question. Then the music starts -- probably something from Led Zepplin or The Who. Music stops -- all those that tried to provide feedback or try something different are out. Those same guys follow same game plan and shake it all up again, you get a new manager, maybe a new place to sit. Pop that cassette tape back in, maybe Wham this time. No one knows who is doing what or why changes are made. They say they have goal to hit for female leaders but seems that only is if that female agrees with everything they say. Very few female role models as most seem to leave.
