Pros

There were small pockets of great people. Values claim to be strong and virtuous. It was a very good place, but dog and pony shows have left it without any core or integrity.

Cons

The culture is one of blame, it is not one of walking the talk. If you speak up, you will be outcast. It is a culture of complicity. Even speaking up with proven documented abuses go dismissed by higher ranks. For those who have no interest in quality of what they deliver, it is a very inviting place. Development is a facade, unless your meeting outside of work with your boss.
