Pros

Very lax attitude toward attendance and work week. Very difficult to get fired. Really good work/life balance if you work in some divisions.

Cons

Very little room for advancement. Very "Berklee High." Most people are promoted because they are part of the "Berklee High" clique, not because of performance. The good employees leave and the lazy ones stay. Way too top heavy for serious innovation.
