Pros

Some great people, excellent technology.

Cons

Old boys club, very few women in management and they are treated VERY poorly. One Senior Director had 5 formal complaints against him and is still employed. I was told by HR that unless you submit a written complaint, they take zero action against complaints lodged by phone, other than "speaking with" the subject of the complaint.

- Constant re-orgs without strategy are destabilizing - Manager pool is very mixed in terms of experience and skill - Poor role definition can lead to surprises at quarterly review time - Layoffs/reductions have had a chilling effect - Lower salaries compared to competitors
