Pros: Good company to develop skills. Opportunities are there if you take the initiative. Compensation, in comparison to similar companies, is very good.

Cons: Middle-level management sucks. They are highly incompetent and inefficient. A lot of black sheep (hardly working) guys are in the company. Need to flush them out.
