Pros
Relaxed atmosphere at work. Everyone is super friendly. Most days I look forward to going into work. While we are always busy and have a challenging full day, rarely are unreasonable results expected. (If you worked for the old GlobalOptions company, prior to the merge, this was no always the case.) Some of the small perks that make it nice are the unlimited free Starbucks in the break room, monthly birthday cake, Pop Corn Fridays. Plus, the Activities Committee always has something fun going on and there are occasional Department Outings .
Cons
The merger a year ago between GlobalOptions and ICS Merrill started out very rough. The merging of two incompatible internal systems brought about challenges that are still being worked out.
