Pros

Very nice people. The folks doing the actual work are excellent, and continue to care deeply about what they do. There is a high level of diligence and dedication. Mostly, there's a good sense of humour. The work environment is generally fair-minded and diversity is encouraged.

Cons

The senior management are so busy fighting each other and making themselves look good that they have no idea what the company actually does or how it does it. They give every impression of not caring at all and are simply working towards their own comfortable retirement.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
