If your young, creative, or came from much younger tech companies and use to that type of culture, NOT the place for you
Pros: They pay very well. I had a very good manager. Very nice and knowledgeable people to work with.
Cons: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap when it comes to buying supplies, or software, or for dept celebrations, to the point of folks kicking in their own money to make the event enjoyable.. , Very old culture. I worked in an area where the over 50 age group was the majority. No stability, they laid off depts in an area, and cut staff to the point of them almost not able to do their work, because they didn't hit the stock price they were looking for. I think folks that started 30 years again got a good run, but even the old folks say its not the same anymore. They off shore their internal support, so you have an issue with your local computer you get to call India, and then they dispatch someone locally to come look at it because 9 times out of 10 they don't know how to fix issue or can't because you physically need to fix problem.
