Pros

Very smart talented people. Do your Home work and reap the benefits. You can speak your mind, provide honest feedback and not feel like you have to be a yes man.

Cons

No on-boarding, expected to go zero to 60 in a few days/weeks. The review process is just as horrible as the press makes it out to be. One manager expected a minimum 6 page document to be turned in prior to review 1:1 meeting. Manager shared that you did not want to be the team member that wrote the least.
