Pros

Lots of data, interesting problems.

Cons

Some of the most nasty, cruel, petty, stupid people I've ever met work at this company. The sheer volume of meetings I had with people who were actively sneering at me was incredible. Day to day was usually unpleasant, could be downright hostile and filled with argument.

Pros

Good pay, good benefit, smart coworker

Cons

A very technical group was led by a non-technical manager who did not provide clear guidance. Priorities shifted frequently, often on a daily basis, leaving the team without a clear direction or stable goals.
