Pros

Big company with lots of resources. Great coworkers. Good benefit package.

Cons

Company has gone to pieces in the past 2-3 years. Middle management has been so thoroughly gutted that there is no pipeline to communicate between the top brass and the actual workers. The people in charge have no idea what their staff actually does, so they decided to replace 2/3 with overseas contract vendors. It's a mess.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
