Pros
I was able to negotiate a lot of time off. I also was able to maintain a great work/life balance. The colleagues at my level were great when I started.
Cons
The industry, the management, and the culture of cronyism which ends up in management that are poor leaders. 1- The industry is clearly suffering. There are a lot of ideas, but very little productive action to stop the bleeding. 2- The management runs this huge company as if its a small company of 50 people. The structure of the company is so confusing you won't know what to work on, who to work with, or what is expected. The only people with meaningful work are "buddies" with the management that came in. 3-If you aren't buddies with upper management, its hard to advance or really feel at all safe in your job. You will see other clueless employees advance and remain at the company while truly talented and dedicated colleagues are laid off.
