Pros

The people I worked with are still some of my closest friends to this day. The benefits are amazing as well...can't get better medical anywhere.

Cons

Some of the most incompetent managers EVER. IT's all about "playing the game"..so basically, who kisses butt the most. Additionally, it's a culture where face time is everything to them. So you need to badge in every morning, badge out after a minimum 10 hour day.

Pros

Free food and access to influential people. Great for networking and being recruited to work for another company

Cons

Horrible management in the analytics department. Absolutely NO diversity at all. They hire young attractive people fresh out of college. By the time the young folks leave they are simply brainwashed. When you start working here you will have to change the way you walk, talk, dress. Imagine yourself as dough- they will shape you and will bully you into becoming a differnt person or face firing.

Pros

Can learn skills vital for corporate life such as how to be fake, hypocritical, political; nice office infrastructure; expensive annual summer party; good health benefits

Cons

Company is too political to be able to produce quality; the system makes people become mediocre as they need to focus on backstabbing, fighting for credit in order to survive; once you get in, pay increases are slow; everyone is stressed; some people need to work two time zones like Asia and Europe times; capable people leave as incapable people get promoted
