Pros

Compensation is great. Signing bonuses are great.

Cons

An atmosphere of fear breeds resentment and mistrust. It is an unpleasant and sometimes hostile work environment. I would not recommend it to a friend. Expect to get huge amounts of pressure, work late, and have unrealistic schedules to deliver results. I would not recommend this place to a friend.

Advice to Management

Lighten up. Professionals do not need to be treated as children. Talent will leave, as I plan to.
