Pros

Nice Office location, nice people to work with.

Cons

low payment, no work recognition what so ever(from the company admnistration or from direct bosses), unfair treatment, very little team work, the culture imposed by the corporation doesn't refect the behavior of it's employees, no raise for good employees and they maintain poorly engaged ones, because they don't have the budget to let them go, overwhelming others with the work the bad employee doesn't perform.
