Cons
Management-Especially mid level management that is incompent and untouchable due to race or seniority. Politics-it's a dog eat dog environment. Everyone is stepping on each others toes to get somewhere. It can be a very selfish environment to work in. Recognition-recognition goes to those that play the political game the best and the people doing the hard work are left in a careerless positions with minimal advancement opportunities. Career opportunities- very little room to switch groups or make lateral moves. The position you start in is the one you'll continue to have unless you leave and gain the experience at a different company then try to come back.
