Horrible ethics

Pros

Nice location. That's about it. Horrible cubicle & office design. Horrible parking (I.e., no parking).

Cons

No career advancement. No formal ethics program so management gets away with literally illegal practices. Very poor security. Way behind in terms of technology, furnishings falling apart, backwards management styles. Heard from several other employees that they're actually known for "cover ups" - seriously?!?! Hello FDA!

Pros

The restaurant and the gym, the security people, IT guys and the receptionists are always nice, helpful and friendly. When I started and was on-boarded by a person who was on a years contract, and I had no idea I would be taking some of her jobs. Result was no knowledge sharing, no help and any emails I sent requesting help went unanswered. My job is quite deadlined so I relied on timely responses from others, but nearly every email or request for help fell into a dead hole. This is the culture there. No 'out of office', no idea where the person is you are trying to contact. Are they on holiday or just ignoring you? The answer can be found with a trip down to the 'Street' here people will spend all day having 'meetings' - conveniently near to the coffee bar. Does anyone ever work in his place? People: REPLY to emails!! RESPOND.
