Pros

Overall, a good company for work-life balance, in that they do not expect exceptional effort from even high-level performers. In general, expectations for success are modest, so long hours are not expected and are even viewed with some suspicion.

Cons

Lack of strategy beyond "cut costs". Management was consistently unable to utilize technology as a business differentiator, so it became all about delivering ho-hum technology for less cost. However, management was frequently penny-wise but pound-foolish, as they were unable to align projects and goals, creating a lot of inefficiency.
