Pros

Most colleagues were very good to work with. Benefits are on-par with competition. Free candy and ice cream!

Cons

Inconsistent management. If you got on the wrong side of your manager, forget any career progression. Your one-up manager will back up that manager, and there's no where to go except out. Management seemed to lack clear direction for the organization. Lots of organizational changes across the board. If you got a good manager, but you weren't a great employee, you could be around for a long time. The inverse is true as well, if you have a bad manager, but a good employee that hasn't been given opportunity, you could be out the door very quickly.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
