Pros

-Generous vacation (3 weeks to start) -Relatively flexible work schedule. -Very nice co-workers. There is some very good talent here. -Exposure to new technology (though training is usually hands-on, on-the-fly).

Cons

-Difficult to get external training. -Raises average about 2-3% for workers. Management is a very different story. Very much a have and have-not situation. It pays to be in the clique. -Bonus plan not paid out over the last two years -Despite the propaganda, upper management sees lower level people as 'resources' not valued and skilled personnel.
