Pros

1. Great-looking office. 2. Friendly colleagues. 3. Some top editors are really good at the work and encourage people. 4. Looks extremely good on your CV. 5. Of course, the pantry. 6. Good benefits.

Cons

1. Middle-level managers are incompetent or lost or indifferent. Rare to find any other kind. This is a demotivating factor for most employees. 2. Long work hours. Kills any chances of having a life outside BBG, especially if people have long commutes. 3. Less opportunities for growth. Competence is not the factor that pushes people to higher positions. It's normally other considerations like how much the management likes you or how much you will bend according to the top guy's will. So basically need to be nice to the boss. 4. Little appreciation for great work. There are few managers who ensure an employee gets his or her due. 5. Bosses decide what the market wants. People work not because the market needs it but because the boss wants something done.

Pros

Paid health insurance Free food and snack Cds

Cons

Inept group leaders think they are glorified managers but really have no experience managing people. No praise for a job well done or all the extra hours put in, instead pointing out all your weak areas with no help to improve. Giving out awful performance reviews just setting you up to fail and pushing you toward their chopping block. Awful human resource management - the are not there to help you but instead to back up the team leaders.
