Pros

Smart, kind, talented co-workers Great benefits and competitive salary Ability to work from home

Cons

CEO John Fallon has no vision for how to transition the company into the digital age, which has resulted in regular restructurings, constant lay-offs, and poor employee morale. He's completely disconnected from his employees. There's no path for growth.

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.
