Pros

Good location, if you live close. Average pay compared to market, but actually low per hour if you are exempt. Nice preparation for afterlife in hell.

Cons

Abusive environment. Even top management uses foul language, completely disrespectful and unprofessional. Lack of direction. Long long long hours, then they call you at home, and you will have to support weekends,. Management by pressure and pushing, not by motivation, strategy, focus, and removing roadblocks. Management is always blaming people and not their continuous improvisation and poor decision making.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
