Pros

Good hard working people holding up the base of the company doing the grunt work. Free soda. Cafeteria with decent food. Nice looking building?.... does that even count?

Cons

- Sr. Mgmt has no concept of strategy. No forethought. Everything is just knee jerk reactions. No push for documentation or company wide process'. Everyone is frantically trying to get other people to fix their problems. No accountability, just a promotions for the most incompetent people imaginable. - Nothing works. Nothing. The corporate email system constantly halts and stutters throughout the work day making it impossible to be productive for any length of time (has for the last couple of years). Phone systems just hang up or wait forever to dial, The document system is like something out of the 90's with no oversight or controls. The ticketing/CMDB/billing DB system is an absolute joke with a replacement on its way that looks way worse. At the end of the day anyone with a brain is left wondering "This is a tech company? Really?" - There is a distinct almost visible thresh hold of competence that can be seen across the Sr. Mgr to Director level of mgmt. Most at or beyond this level are clearly out of touch with the teams they manage and have come to depend on their ability to schmooze up their supervisors or blame people lower on the totem pole for their inability to do anything but react to events. These incompetents are then brought into rooms where business decisions are made which effect the entire organization.
