Pros

Decent office facilities, free lunch and many good/talented people.

Cons

Own appears to be facing a culture crisis where its company values are not at reflected by its management and leadership which lacks professionalism and a true interest in developing people and talent. Some key leaders appear largely self interested and arrogant and I've not heard this much profanity at formal meetings in my career. I personally work for a manager who is insecure and seriously micromanages the team and feel that middle management need to receive managerial training as some are ill equipped to lead.
