Pros

Nice office location at Purchase, great cafeteria. Offices could use updating - its like a step back into the 70's

Cons

Like most large firms it doesnt live what it preaches. Poor management skills are tolerated if the person is senior because it would cost to much to fire them but people further down the food chain are expendable. If you have tenure you are less likely to be fired for poor performance but instead shuffled around the company into a new role

Pros

Hiring new employees that bring a new perspective to the company is helping to create a better culture. The company offers challenging work, a good corporate culture and provides a great work environment. There are growing opportunities in new areas of the business.

Cons

Funding can be limited for projects and long work hours and sometimes unrealistic expectations can make it stressful. There are some bad managers you wouldn't want to work for but it seems to be improving very slowly.

Pros

Pay and benefits are amazing but it comes at a cost. The culture isn't for everyone.

Cons

Culture can be extremely fast paced & cut-throat. Also a very cold place to work focused on results only.
