Pros

Nice offices, and ok benefits.

Cons

The atmosphere was very click-y, you had to be with the "in-crowd" (read VP or higher) to get any attention, recognition, or simple kindness and decency. In the years I worked there my closest boss didn't recognize my birthday, were not interested in my personal life at all, didn't ask how I was doing (even when I was sick), didn't give me a Happy Holidays email, a card, a gift, nothing. I got no formal reviews, and also no raise the whole time I was there, yet my work load tripled. There were tremendous efforts put forth posturing around social justice and parental rights, but at the same time there was no compassion for tending to a sick child or any action taken to change any behaviors or hiring practices to be more equitable. They had all-company meetings which was basically a time for the executives to hear themselves talk and pat each other on the back. There was no transparency from the leadership so it was extremely difficult to feel a part of the team and knowing where the company was headed. I am so glad I decided to leave. That work place was as toxic as they come.
