Good people, ineffective management and company
Pros: Good people doing the work.  Great applications.  Benefits are very good.  Some Highly intelligent and skills people with a great depth of knowledge.
Cons: Company very silo'd.  Middle to upper management very immature, most got there roles by who they know not what they now.  Very short sited in many departments, more than one year planning rarely exist.  Most management is not that supportive of employee growth.  Buddy system in place there and women are not as well recognized as men in many cases.  Management is quick to blame and then take credit for themselves if things go well.  Mentality is still there to accomplish even it is a bad thing for the company to quickly move on and let others pick up the mess.
