Pros

Pay is decent, colleagues are great to work with in certain departments. Always work to be done.

Cons

Management changing demands and not knowing what they are doing. Not enough of good and great talent to keep or to have in certain departments. Certain managers would listen to you but will not take any action for what we need in our department
