Pros

Work hours quite regular. Benefits are alright. Not superb, but acceptable.

Cons

No trust, no development unless your boss allows, many micromanagers around, people not collaborative, nobody wants to help one another, no team spirit in the whole company, bosses are in their own world, no unity across the company, too many VPs around, politics aplenty for survival
