Pros

Fast paced and the opportunity to work with some talented individuals. Salary is generally consistent with industry. High degree of accountability. The potential and desire for a positive culture is there from the ground-up.

Cons

Limited training, practically no professional development. Often values style over substance. Not sure why the potential and desire for positive culture is not cultivated by senior management. Zero tolerance policy for mistakes. No work at home or other alternate work options.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
