Pros

I've been here for almost 6 years and I think the experience varies a lot from team to team. It can be very rewarding. It is fun to be able to work somewhere that people instantly recognize.

Cons

This is by far the most frustrating place I have worked. Employees are pitted against each other. Every conversation is contentious and results in an argument, most of the time the loudest or most persistent employee wins without regard to the validity of their argument. You must learn how to navigate corporate politics well or you will not move up the ladder.
