Pros

Super well qualified colleagues Benefits (aside from salary) still pretty good and stellar 401K program

Cons

No meaningful career progression. Horrible self-interested management (Directors and above). Middle-management (Directors and EDs) mostly incompetent and put into place for political reasons; mostly managing by fear and intimidation. Most areas have no investment in employee training/development. Back-stabbing and "voting people off the island" have become the norm. Focus on serving the market versus developing what made the company great.
