Pros

Some great co-workers. Good location in mid-town Manhattan. Reasonable hours- no 12hr work days most of the time.

Cons

For technology division- compensation and performance benefits are being squeezed down. None to extremely small raise/bonus will be awarded, irrespective of performance. Bad morale overall with threat of lay-offs always looming, causing extra stress.
