      Amazing people, Difficult to challenge status quo

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you are in the right place, it all works great.

      Cons

      If you are in the wrong team it is a struggle. The political set up is such that you need the seniors to help you move up. You need to be good, and also be a "good boy". Depending on the group, sometimes, you can be a nothing and still expect to get rewarded, though I hope what I saw happen is an exception. Trying to challenge and work your way up is very very hard. You need to be very lucky.
