Pros

Great Location. Good workspace. Good Co-workers.

Cons

My comments relate to finance. Other departments may be ok. I've never seen such a negative work environment. Co-workers are discouraged from communicating with each other - even about work. Management treats employees like children in terms of work hours. There is no flexibility. Even going out to lunch is discouraged. On food days, employees do not even eat together. You are expected to return to your desk and not talk to anyone. Thing happen here that you never see any where else. It is not uncommon for new employees or contractors to last less than a year. The environment is so bad it is a shock to most. Submissive people do better in the environment.
