Pros

Hiring process is very detailed. Once you get with a "mentor of your peers" they are friendly and easy to get along with.

Cons

Management refuses to learn anything or try to help. Demeaning, demanding, no trust of staff, incompetent, no positive feedabck to staff on jobs well done. Very inappropriate behavior that is visible to not only to immediate staff but to other areas of department as well.

Pros

Good Cafeteria food in the NY office. Casual dress policy bodes well with many. You can sleep in the bathroom stalls.

Cons

Management has an outdated outlook. Six Sigma has been around since the early 80's yet, thats what they have embaced now. Too much reliance on consultants who are there to make money for themselves. Inconsistant message: Stealth layoffs being conducted while management tells staff that things are going well.
