Pros

Good benefits, convenient location, decent offices, overall friendly atmosphere. There are opportunities to travel if you are in the right department.

Cons

Lack of business and project management knowledge in upper management. They use the right buzz words but they don't have experience as project managers themselves so they don't really understand their customers. The business and marketing practices are out of date or not there. Customers say that company is hard to do business with. The website is bad.
