Pros

Good people, thin layers of management (but getting thicker). Good platform with lots of potential if it were managed better.

Cons

Punitive clawback policies for bonuses on cash business dis-incentivises and dilutes what is supposed to be an entrepreneurial environment.

Would look elsewhere if you can

Pros

Just the right amount of suffering without going completely insane, have your own cubicle, don't have to interact with others much

Cons

Below market pay, 100 hour weeks, hostile working environment, can't really compete with the bulge brackets

No consequences (Tech job)

Pros

Great people, you get exposed to a lot of different areas of technology, things move faster than a large company - less red tape. If you are good and can deal with the culture you can grow fast and high here.

Cons

There are little to no consequences to poor performance. People are there and have been there for a long time that drag the organization down. When people screw up big they just get moved elsewhere.
