Pros

I met some friends for life. I developed the skills and knowledge I already had.

Cons

The place is filled with managers who have no idea of how to manage. Systems are dated so it takes a long time to do one piece of work. Certain teams are cliquey, if your face doesn't fit.... well your life will be made hell. I could not progress in role as management wanted to hold on to their cosy jobs so held me back. Was put down a lot by those above me who wanted me to think I was not worthy, maybe they didn't want me to take their jobs?? Finally had enough so quit and got a more SENIOR job at a much BETTER company. I wouldn't work there again if my life depended on it!

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
