Pros

They say all the right things and there are a lot of benefits offered to employees. There are fun and exciting projects and some great people (most are not in management) The department I am in is flexible with hours and understanding of family issues and time off requests

Cons

Non collaborative, Highly competitive - almost cut throat. Diversity - need to be more open to others opinions and points of view Boys club!!! Old style culture and way of doing business Poor communication from executive levels down. (info on a need to know basis) Lots of rumors and unhappy employees
