Pros

Great place to start a career. If your Entry to Mid Level you will get the experience you need to get to that point from the work, not from training programs, but from digging into the work. Also the benefits are better than most large companies (insurance copay and coverage, and time off accrue).

Cons

The management is VERY niche orientated. Your paid according to who you know, how well you play the 'What ever you say' game, and if they like you on a personal level (not merit). Their hiring and promotion practices are very questionable and makes it difficult to stay as a long time employee, unless you like being underpaid and over worked.

Pros

Horizontal culture, very European with manageable work life balance.

Limited growth opportunities, endless layers of bureaucracy, disconnected senior management, and lack of a meritocracy are the key cons.
