Pros

Benefits and Routine Time Off policy are decent. Nice campus. Relatively relaxed work space, cafeteria, flexible hours. The ability to work in private choice rooms is nice, as well.

Cons

High manager turnover, mediocre leadership, severe micromanagement. Inconsistent expectations, and poor prioritization and time management skills on part of supervisors. Much of their "busyness" is self - generated as a result of their needing to control every aspect of their direct reports' workflow/ processes. Kind of a "Wild West" scenario where no one really seems to know what's going on, and new "leaders" dismantle prior leaders' initiatives and change things in order to make their own marks before they also leave... causing the whole process to start again: Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
