Pros

Salary and benefits are decent. Workplace camaraderie is created by virtue of severe workload and high stress for all employees---which is a terrible way to foster camaraderie.

Cons

Excessive workload and management that is unable to praise achievements or recognize high performance. The company's much-vaunted systems that are intended to make us all more efficient create more work by virtue of all the mistakes these systems introduce that we are left to fix.

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.
