Good to a point
Pros: It’s a great brand name to represent, but I would not recommend working here to a friend (which I wanted to keep).  It’s a relaxed working environment where you don't have to work too hard to meet objectives if your moderately effective which is reflected in the average compensation packages. 

Whilst the organization does try to invest in development, advancement rapidly becomes "dead man’s shoes".

A great place to land for s couple of years career R&R between proper high performance jobs.
Cons: Don't stay too long, the apathy of an easy life can be a hard habit to kick.
