Pros

Compensation has been competitive. Cafeteria food isn't too bad.

Cons

Not enough employees for the jobs at hand, those that are left are overburdened with an extraordinary amount of work while new processes that must be followed come out almost daily. Management expectations are to work much non-paid overtime to make up for the employees who have been laid off. Short-sighted quarterly goals insure that a dime will not be spent today to save a dollar tomorrow. Employee morale is at an all-time low and having to work with them, on top of the incredible amount of personal work makes working there not just challenging, but nearly impossible.
