Pros

Some really smart people and interesting work

Cons

The Oklahoma office is out of control. The women at the company who could, have left. The ones who cannot leave, are undervalued and ignored. The culture of the company is "Mean people get promoted" - so if a woman is completely ruthless, she might have a chance (There were a handful of those). The professionals leave. I cannot count the number of times that someone actually YELLED at me, cussed me out, slammed doors, stood OVER me as intimidation, and sabotoged my success (even at the company's expense). I escalated my concerns (as did others), but management did not respond, and later denied that they knew. HR didn't respond either - even when blatent abuse and discrimination was reported. The only option for many was to leave or to put up with the hostile environment and the retaliation from blowing the whistle. The environment is always unstable as well. I had far more managers than I had years with the company, and it felt like I was moved to a different desk each time someone sneezed. CHAOS If you want to work in a hostile "boys club" of immaturity, then apply for a job there. Otherwise, don't.
