Pros

Work-life balance, if you are not busy schmoozing your way up the corporate ladder.

Cons

- Corporate politics and hierarchy - Clueless leadership, perpetuated by bad "gut" decisions - Leadership not held accountable to annual employee survey (aka "great place to work" survey). Interesting how there are a lot of new employee events that happen around the time of this survey. - Does not value young talent/millennials
