Pros

This company can be a great place for young ambitious people. The company rewards those who are great at checking the boxes.

Cons

Overall I'm dissatisfied with the lack of long term vision, and the preference for bringing in new blood as opposed to developing, and rewarding hard workers who have proven themselves. The company has an extraordinarily large population of middle managers.
