Pros

Nice cafeteria, good location, and some nice people to work with. Easy hours and, uhh, a good cafeteria. And it has a good location.

Cons

constant layoffs, dismal morale, the feeling that the company's losses will not end, poor promotion policies, HR policies that were obviously written by someone looking at the minimum the law allows in terms of employee treatment. And low compensation.
