Pros

Nice environment. Every one knows each other even when working in various departments. The summer parties are wonderful. I made many new friends for life there. I would wake up everyday looking forward to going to work.

Cons

Great culture overall. However, no recognition for when you do a great job-no matter how many times you do it. My start time was 7 am daily. Came at 7:02 and was scolded as if it were an hour late. Started out wonderful there but it was not the way I imagined my work experience would be.

Pros

pays well, stable, lots of potential -- in some alternate universe.

Cons

90 hour weeks, stifling beaurocracy, backstabing politics, personal degradation, self-destructive technology choices. think of it as being chained in a salt mine with open sores. living in new york is a special kind of hell too.
