Pros

If you go in at a more senior level, it's quite easy to advance. However, if you're at a more junior level there is little room for upward mobility since it is such a large company.

Cons

You feel like just a number and a cog in the wheel.

Pros

Friendly staff with no negative attitudes. Very helpful when training me for the position. Get bagels on Thursdays with delicious cream cheese.

Cons

Usually very quiet around the office because everyone is hard at work-I expected it to be a little bit more lively and the ambiance of the office would be nicer if it facilitated a more creative vibe.
