Pros

Good benefits.

Got out just before layoffs.

Cons

Managers expect you to meet impossible deadlines, and when the project fails, they put all the blame on you. Promotions and bonuses are only given to managers' friends.

Advice to Management

Shut down CCBU and fire the managers. It is filled with people waiting for retirement and only stay on to collect their paycheck every week.
