Pros

If you are willing to move, there are some opportunities to work in other locations, but be careful to evaluate the offer fully. Many in the senior management team are outstanding.

Cons

No work-life balance. The company will push you work at home, and on vacation, since the workload is more than one person can manage. If you don't go with the career path they want for you, you will be looked at negatively and treated negatively. Very controlling managers are promoted. Culture ignores unethical management practices and unstable managers for the sake of results. They will lie about opportunities to drive the interests of the business. Does not support innovation outside of the technical functions. A lot of big egos trying to get to the top.
