Pros

Notable brand name and products. Some smart, talented managers, but few and far between.

Cons

Employees (and especially contractors) treated as commodities. Culture encourages rivalry and individual achievement over what's write for the company.

Pros

The dash trash will work for you if you apply the right kind of motivation. It is a prestigious organization and looks good on your resume for sure. Write your own ticket from here.

Cons

Unreasonable management and pink slip happy. The manager believing this is the 18th century puts pressure on you leading to producing sub-par results. It is quite suffocating.
