Pros

Good benefits, nice building, good 401k match, friendly colleagues, own season tickets to all major Philly sports, always working with local charities

Cons

run too lean, limited opportunities to train for a new position, easy disqualifications from raises/promotions (getting anything below "meets expectations" on any category of your review), some departmental "warring"/non-cooperation, very small raises even for "top performers" (3.5% or less), sometimes place hitting deadlines above making a quality design
