Pros

Remuneration (given how easy most of the jobs are, few are willing to bad-mouth this gravy train). Most peers were highly-skilled and dynamic individuals. If you crack the ranks of management, the perks are very cushy indeed, and you're nearly untouchable when it comes to firing time.

Cons

- Office politics of a degree that makes meritocracy an absolute joke. - Mid-level management have little diversity, power, loyalty (to their employees), or EQ in their ranks. - Organization is touted as being "flat," yet bureaucracy is incredibly stifling. - Extraordinarily arrogant, top-down management seeks to micro-manage/control everything. - The best and brightest I'd met all shared one thing in common: they all left. Those who stayed were often the *most* incompetent people imaginable.

Pros

Some good co-workers and good challenges

Cons

Leadership in the Tucson office is highly political and unprofessional. Feedback is not given directly. Local leadership is more interested in Linkedin posting and image, rather than anything of substance.
