Cushy job but uninspired culture
Pros: Great pay, smart people, lots of mobility within the company and opportunities for advancement & training
Cons: The job seemed very plug-and-play.  I was to replicate everything my predecessor established - it was almost rote & unchallenging. Contractors treated like red-headed stepchildren - not allowed to have set office space, not even a desk, which is pretty ridiculous & completely counterproductive. My role interfaced with many, many people from different depts yet no one ever knew where to find me as I had to move around depending on which areas were being utilized that day. Maddening.
