Pros

Work from home so I can avoid my petty, vindictive manager.

Cons

Toxic culture. Only want to reward those who are willing to kiss up to their managers. Cost over quality, profits over people. This is the only way they know how to keep the stock price from sinking even lower.

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.
