Pros

It's a great place to start a career and get some experience in the corporate world. A lot of red tape, and bad communication from the top.

Cons

Once you gain your skills it can be a pain to gain the right experience to advance your personal skills or to advance within the company. Although communication from the top is bad, the direct managers try to help anyway they can (though sometimes their hands are tied)

Pros

- You will get a lot of exposure very quickly. If you can swim (versus sink) in the environment, you'll have th opportunity to obtain a great wealth of knowledgy from some of the industry's best subject-matter experts.

Cons

Senior management is absolutely terrible, along with the company's internal structure. Nothing is communicated clearly to employees and turnover is very high within the firm.
