Pros

Some good people there No real stress Nice office

Cons

The company is in real trouble. Major parts being sold off, loosing money, is being fined for breaking laws every month It was a good place to work 3 or 4 years ago but not now Clearly they are making it crappy for people so they leave and saves the company the cost of firing them all No career opportunities People leave and no there are no replacements, so get ready to do 3 people's job The snr mgmt in NY will lie to you about whats going. Read the press to find out the truth (whats reported almost always ends up happening in the end) You get a really tough interview and then end up on a project editing xml files
