Pros

The company does promote a good work/life balance and there are certain groups that have a very good rapport.

Cons

Title inflation is rampant and some groups have very little oversight, which leads to terrible middle management, especially in the finance org. Managers absolutely need to do a better job of being proactive about developing talent beneath them and they also need to have more oversight. Moreover, when participating in one of the acquisitions the company did I noticed that the whole process was incredibly disorganized compared to what I've seen elsewhere...this needs to be improved.
