Pros

Some nice people work there.

Cons

Poor organization, lots of turf wars between groups with overlapping missions. Passive-aggressive behavior, frustration voiced by numerous employees. Constant expressions of hopelessness, like "ours is a department to move on from." Etc. A mindset of constantly kicking the can down the road--"We're too busy to plan this project now, we'll address our mistakes after we get through this phase.
