Pros

If you can stomach sucking up to the right people then you have a chance

Cons

No work life balance. They expect you to work 12 - 15 hours and on weekends and be fine with it. They call you even when you're away on vacation or even when sick. The teams are a hit or miss. Some people are right for the job and are excellent at what they do until they spend a few weeks at this company and transform into the monsters that management expects you to turn into. Some people are washed up folks who couldn't find a better place and management takes advantage of their desperation. there is little support from managers, well what do you expect, they have little support too. there should at least be some form of career advancement and HR but there is nothing of that sort! Those in the inner circle know by heart that its the CEO's way or say goodbye to your job. However, his decisions are often made with SS colored glasses, never mind you're doing something that would be otherwise unwise, unsound or illegal. The atmosphere is that of exclusion, and not inclusion. you'll feel scared of losing your job all the time, no motivation to work and contribute. you'll be made to feel like an outsider oftentimes and the only way to avoid this is to pretend to be one of them. This is a glorified paper pushing company which makes money out of buying dying brands for cheap and wringing whatever life is left out of it. This is not the place to learn and develop skills, this place tends to make you feel worthless, I would get out if you can and don't get in if you have respect for yourself.
