Pros

The pay is nice, the work environment was great and the employees were a real nice group of people. Initially had a great work culture. Management was great at training. I felt as if I landed the career of my dreams. I would definately work for them again....

Cons

After Lehman fell, environment became hostile. People not as willing to help each other. Unsure if management knew of lay-off situation, but they posed as if everything was ok, but it was clear after the first lay-off that there may be more to come. I felt a little deceived, but was ready to accept my pink slip during the second round.
