Pros

There was free breakfast on some days

Cons

The overall environment was bad once my company was acquired. The new manager micromanaged us and expected us to pull weight that simply wasn't there. I also had to shrink my skill set in order to perform my duties. Before acquisition, I was able to put my hands in all sectors of my department. I wouldn't mind going back, just not under the same manager.

Pros

Rational, problem-solving focused, and minimal interference in work.

Cons

Can be pragmatic to the point of cold-heartedness. Due to being cost-focused, contract was significantly underbid and understaffed, leading to stretching of resources. Benefits are very minimal.
