Pros

Some of the best, brightest and funnest people within the industry to work with. Hands down one of the better employers I've had.

Cons

Some of the positions within the company can only be gained if you know the right people. At times, it seems talent and hard work are not rewarded.

Pros

Some of the best colleagues around. Competitive salary. If you just want to do "OK" there will be no one hassling you.

Cons

Not enough recognition for good performance. No real opportunities to progress within a role, or to move out of the role into a new one. Lack of feedback on how you can improve / progress. No consequences for failing to perform.
