Pros

There ain’t many pros to add.

Cons

Top heavy with bunch of old white men making your life miserable. No regards to employee’s workload or career progression. Everyone other than directors are like a cog in the wheel. There aren’t many left anyways because every other individual is a some sort of director. So if you aren’t one then don’t join. Profits before everything.
