      Pros

      You will get along fine if you give in to the quirks of senior management. Some senior managers are only there due to longevity, not because of their ability. Its an ok place if you want to coast until your next job.

      Cons

      Capable people end up leaving. I guess that is the way with many companies. You can quickly see that management only wants you to operate at the level of their understanding. If you are a driven person in your career, this is a nice resting place for a while but your 'wanting to do better' will replace the complacency that the culture has.

      Pros

      People - there are many solid people throughout the organization

      Cons

      Politics - too much politics, which takes away from getting best work done and in keeping best people motivated.
