Is this your company?

Pros

Good benefits and lots of time off. Very relaxed environment for the IT department.

Cons

Pay sucks compared to industry. Lots of politics and favoritism. Seniority-based advancement. Very little recognition for a job well done. No incentive to try any more than just enough to get by.

Pros

Lots of smart people! Great place to learn from, being in NYC is a big plus!

Cons

None, just starting out! NYC is expensive, maybe subsidizing the subway commute would help.

Pros

They have a lot of resources, the campus is pretty, the students are engaged

Cons

They censor your political speech, punish you for activism, and have been known to call the NYPD to commit police brutality on campus
