Pros

Good benefits, but it takes a while to qualify for them. Cafe is convenient. Nothing else good to say, really.

Cons

This place stinks. I've never worked anywhere with such wide discontent among its employees. Constant reorg and project changes. Very poor communication from management. I only saw my boss once a month, no joke. Coworkers are very cliquish. The work is boring. Posters are hung all over the office encouraging employees to work "anytime and anywhere." This company wants to make sure you know that they own you! Horrible pay. So glad I escaped!

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

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.
