Pros

flex hours, working from home, take comp days (for overtime) are all well supported by the management team i know. many jobs have a very relaxed schedule.

Cons

politics are too important. some (many) people have been in the company for too long and don't care anymore. This is not good for careerly ambitous people. By the time someone finally survives/climbs to the top/upper class, he/she may be too "old" or have changed too much and doesn't remember how to motivate regular working bees any more. The capable and very active people usually only make a temporary stop here.

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.
