      Pros

      Prior to the continuous layoffs, it was an outstanding place to work. I hope it eventually returns to that atmosphere.

      Cons

      With the current layoffs, the morale is extremely low and the employees are overworked.

      Seat of the Pants planning and execution make for low quality publications, exhausted employees, and poor morale.

      Pros

      Great co-workers Benefits Casual dress Decent cafeteria Ample employee parking

      Cons

      Poor internal communication. Lots of finger pointing. Management communicates to employees through the use of boilerplate corporate emails that make little sense. Employees work until exhausted because management either makes late decisions or changes them mid-piroject. Employee morale is perpetually low and management does nothing to address this problem.
