Pros

The Salary isn't awful, the offices are acceptable, the location I worked at is close to public transport (which is lucky, there's no hope of getting parking).

Cons

The politics are hideous, if you are hired by the "wrong" people you will have lies told about you and you will be sidelined at every opportunity, in this case the very best you can hope for is that you can survive long enough to be made redundant
