Pros

Work is pretty slow, so lot of leisurely time.

Cons

1. The company has a history of under-performance - its performance is significantly low as compared to its competitors. 2. More emphasis on physical presence than actual work being done. Don't have deadlines if you already intend to miss/push it. That sends the message that you are not serious. 3. 2-3 hour lunches are a norm rather than a luxury. Coming late and leaving early is fashionable too. 4. The recession saw a lot of good people leave and bad ones stay because of favoritism. Lot of politics, blame-game and favoritism. 5. HR-your job should be to find and RETAIN good workers; not to terminate them based on some man-made, inflexible rules.

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
