Pros

- good compensation - nice perks(trips, food etc) - good work/life balance

Cons

- unskilled middle management - during the period I have been there having initiative has become increasingly discouraged - although advertised as flat, the structure is very hierarchical - a rush for doing things fast without understanding the outcomes - a lot of politics
