Pros

Some great co-workers, especially below management level.

Cons

I agree with most of the negative comments I've seen here. It's not fun working here. The values are all talk. The performance evaluation criteria is garbage. Raises are absolutely horrible. The bonus is a carrot on a stick. They always give you extra work pretending like it will get you promoted. Managers pretend to care about their people but they are mostly snakes. If you are a talented and smart person, then do not come here. This is not the kind of place you make a career at. I don't see many men promoted either.
