Pros

Great people, good benefits plan. Great location.

Cons

Promotion is based on personal relationships and not based on talent, qualifications nor skills or experience. Not Strategic planning in terms of human resources, they waste a lot of talent. Not training programs for employees Too much politics and bureaucracy around, work and information is based on which VP gets along with another not based on results nor deliverables needed. Bad communication among departments and divisions.
