Pros

good salary, good benefits, good industry

Cons

Tier 1 management doesn't always have a bead on who the best performers are and who the imposters are. Good employees usually get shuffled (since they are usually engaged and working hard), while the imposters spend a good deal of time trying to impress the Tier 1 team with misrepresentations of their activities while promoting themselves. This condition makes it impossible for the company to make the transition to next level.

Pros

Very challenging - "sink or swim" - fast paced and high energy environment. Some very knowledgeable and capable people that you can learn from. Very dynamic and fluid atmosphere, with full compliment of productivity tools. New CEO seems to know what he is talking about and has a good strategy moving forward.

Cons

No work-life balance Cronyism abounds at high levels, which completely undermine the talent. Change is the name of the game Poor communication and coordination throughout the organization It may be too late to save the company from its downward spiral
