Pros

Good name. Well respected among their peers. Seen as an industry innovator and leader.

Cons

Very poor compensation. Very close-minded to employees joining from other firms. They only value homegrown talent, as senior management mostly is, so it's a culture of rewarding their own, not the outsider who joins. Huge disproportionate relationship between compensation and promotions for those at senior levels to those at junior levels. Little evidence of appreciation for junior level workers, even those with many years of experience.

Pros

Good benefits (401K match, employee stock options, etc.), depending on the department you work in you could have some decent flexibility regarding work from home,

Cons

Incredibly disorganized from the very top of the organization which only gets worse as SVPs and EVPs don't retire and just clog the hierarchy. Everyone is involved in the decision making process which means that no decisions end up getting made, or they are made too late and then the executives sacrifice a lower level manager for not acting quick enough. Certain corporate departments that aren't directly involved in client facing environments get treated incredibly poorly by the client facing departments. Raises are nonexistent (not even 3%).
