Pros

Interesting work, nice work place, trees, ducks, and fish.

Cons

Everybody only is concerned about himself and making their manager look good no matter what it takes and at the expense of others. Lies are prevalent, surveys are meaningless, turnover in mgmt frequent. People are humiliated in front of others by sr mgmt. Raises have been very low in the past few years for most employees. Company direction seems to be off balance.
