Pros

Pay is great so are the benefits, cool events and engagement activities

Cons

rampant office politics and power tripping - manager excludes people they don't like from discussions and goes out of their way to ice those people out - immature and incompetent team leaders that constantly talk behind your back and undermine you - too much drama and at times hostile because no emotional regulation happens - band 25 colleagues have to fill in gaps when instructions are given as leaders are unable to grasp subject matter and unable to cascade information diligently - lack of planning causes a lot of frenzy and disrupts work flow - disrespect colleagues opinions that are more aware of the work flow

Pros

Good benefits, pay is nice with the monthly incentives

Cons

Micromanagement, Team Leaders that do not know left from right and right from left. They are not helpful. It does depend on the leader you have; I have had some wonderful leaders that know what they are doing and are supportive. Not having a good leader will make you hate your job. Lots of metrics to meet also.
