Pros

Easy going atmosphere with lots of flexibility.

Cons

Management can't look ahead nor plan more than 3-4 months. Priorities change constantly, sometimes in the middle or even at the end of a project. Total waste of developer hours and brings on a very confused atmosphere. Overall, they took away the 401k match and there have been no raises in 2 years. Employees are being asked to take unpaid leave to avoid layoffs but there have been numerous layoffs anyway. Mr. Plumeri received a half a million retention fee for staying in his job in this market, I think that speaks volumes.

Pros

The experience you gain that enables you to apply elsewhere. Staff restaurant is ok, seats are quite comfortable

Cons

An "incentive" ie bonus scheme that rewards you for performance but ties you in for three years?!? Fine if you're on the board, but pretty pointless if you're workplace support, admin staff or technical staff. Our CEO said "there's no such thing as tradition steak". Well, we've had a pay freeze for the second year running and our admin staff are on little more than the National Minimum Wage, so I'll doubt they'll be sitting down to tradition steak Joe. The management are good on corporate speak and soundbites and grand gestures. Apparently there isn't enough money for payrises, but that didn't stop us renaming the Sears Tower, buying some obscure broker in America, or a shiny HQ in London (that just had to be taller than the Lloyds building) or a computer system that's already obsolete. The worst thing is the blame culture. Everyone is so desperate to shine and be noticed, that blame is quickly apportioned when things go wrong. Getting anyone to therefore make a decision and take responsibility is excruciatingly hard. Pulling teeth would be easier. No one wants to challenge the status quo and we really think we are better than the competition, but then the emperor thought he looked pretty good as well...
