Pros

any pros are far outweighed by negatives

Cons

Bullying is prevalent in this culture. if you do not fit in, you will be ostracized by co-workers. They preach a positive work life balance, but incent workers with overtime to the pointe that the money becomes more important until family / personal life disappears.
