Pros

The pay and the benefits. Nothing else.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance in a high pressure, cut throat, backstabbing environment with a primary focus on the numbers. Leadership is disconnected and constantly changing, with no evident succession planning or mentoring. Horrible culture with minimal collaboration, very high turnover, and a low overall morale. This is neither a good place to work, nor is it a good place to stay.

Pros

Honestly, this place is incredible. They take care of their employees, they provide great health insurance and retain. It's the kind of place that you want to get into and stay. Rarely do people leave.

Cons

Bureaucracy is a problem in any large company. Some decisions are made too slowly.
