Pros

The people are by far the greatest thing about working at OR. People are accepting and the culture is coveted by everyone. They also have a great work-life balance. Because the pay is low there's a chance to get in the door for entry level candidates.

Cons

It's hard to cut through what they say they want to be and what their actions actually support. They focus on too many things to be really good at any of them. There's also virtually no upward mobility and micro-management of decisions is a trend from the top down.
