Pros

A few bright people depending on the group; and it's just a paycheck.

Cons

Don't exactly know where to start. This place is disorganized and functions like a mom pop shop in an area away from civilization. Many managers and non-managers are unbelievably incompetent and exhibit unprofessional corporate behavior. Don't think about lodging any concerns to HR because that falls on deaf ears and everyone goes along to get along. Some groups discourage using your brain and prefer if you "dumb down" your intelligence. Turnover rate in every form (layoff, resignation/quit, fire) is super high at all levels. Very unusual organization so you should really think hard before joining.
