Pros

Used to be prestigious. Relatively stress free. Work around 60 hrs/wk. Casual, academic culture. Friendly in the trenches. Great place to learn.

Cons

Poor performance. Low morale. Senior management lacks accountability. Every re-org shuffles the middle, while the top remains hopelessly. Intellectually snobby (think Boston).

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
