Pros

Salary and benefits were above average.

Cons

Laid off along with a bunch of others (from Austin office) without a word of notice that it might be coming. Unfriendly coworkers and at least one unbelievably non-congenial department head (of arguably the most visible department in the office).

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
