Pros

There are a lot of intelligent colleagues around and there's a lot to learn. A lot of freedom for my own time and work.

Cons

Bad management, lack communication and support. High staff turnover - people seem to be screwed up all time (i.e. fired before bonuses). Extremely low salaries and no compensations. Managers only promise everything in the future, but doubt any will happen.
