Pros

Great facilities and good pay, benefits. Smart and experienced people

Cons

The company grew too fast and they picked up a lot of dead weight. The management made sudden brash decisions. You could walk in one morning and find you're suddenly part of a new team. Turn over rate is high. Decisions are made uneducated and without consultation.
