Pros

People would be the main reason to work here. Colleagues are flexible, accomodating, and generally great people to know and work with. Everyone is knowledgeable and smart, those who aren't cut out for this (either due to lack of interest or due to lack of talent), will fall out and away to other firms. Career growth is pretty much guaranteed if you are an above average performer. The company does its best to retain good talent.

Cons

Performance rewards are terrible. Salaries will inch up slower than you expect. In addition, the company "postponed" salary increases by a month this year the reason being organizational restructuring and alignment, but still a disappointing tactic.
