Pros

You will meet some nice people. It is a opportunity to learn to play "politics".

Cons

Culture is terrible. Basically it is like working in a Dilbert cartoon. Lots of pointy haired bosses fill the bloated ranks of management. This company is run by accountants. The irony is that I have never seen such terrible budget management. Regular layoffs to make the numbers. Lots of talk about innovation but they are only interested if its fast and cheap.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
