Pros

Everyone that works there (below management) is awesome. Everyone is really friendly and works hard for each other so their teammates don't have to stay any later.

Cons

Specifically for the accounting department: - The whole department is falling apart. Notice the many openings at this time. - Quantity of work you get done is far outweighed over quality. The management pushes you into the wee hours of the night when you can't think straight anymore, therefore the work performed is never the best. - Working 11-15 hours has become the standard rather than a reason for praise. The whole department stays late. - No appreciation will be shown and if you miss a deadline, you will have to have a meeting about it - Everything is disorganized: no formal plan is ever made, random things will get thrown at the employees with no explanation, and meetings constantly get pushed back or don't even take place at all (so you can never plan for the day let alone an hour). - The processes are manual and not automated to the tune of industry standards as the dept is so short staffed, no one has time to think about it.

Pros

If you are a nerd and have no life and like video games, and don't care about developing a legitimate career, then it's wonderful.

Cons

You get no recognition for your accomplishments, the senior management blatantly lies, is bipolar, and has no problem humiliating you in front of your coworkers. The beurocracy is so stiffling that even the simplest, most menial tasks take weeks to months to complete.

Pros

If you want to fully immerse yourself in a company, then this is the place for you. You will live, breath, eat, shit- IGN and Ziff Davis ideaology.

Cons

Poor compensation, micro-managed from C-Suite down. At a corporate level, it's a churn and burn mentality.
