Pros

Diverse, passionate and progressive coworkers. Everyone pretty much felt like they were contributing to a greater purpose. Benefits and ability to work from home.

Cons

Constant reorgs, even when Marjorie was CEO, keeps everyone guessing and job roles moving so by now, nobody is confident in their decision making abilities. Lots of managing "up" on behalf of the mid-managers, so the worker bees tended to be pretty disconnected from what was expected of them.

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.
