Pros

ESOP focus builds great company culture and quality of work. Large business lanes drive whole company success. Long term outlook is great.

Cons

Not an easy place to start your career, struggles with middle management and scaling to match company growth. Leadership brags about company unity but ignores extreme politics between global practices and their overlap.
