Pros

This is a easy shop to get into if can work with politics and have no opinions. Top director in my department is a good man and manager under him is very approachable.

Cons

The environment is one of shame and blame and the current lead is passive aggressive also is allergic to the word no and comucation is extremely difficult because of no people skills, likes to use email to front people off, make himself feel and look good.
