Pros

Pay is competitive. Aspirational culture is on point and repeated often. Incredibly smart and ambitious colleagues who push you to do and be better.

Cons

Aspirational culture can sometimes we weaponized against you. Depending on the department, it can be HIGHLY political which can be a pro or a con depending on what you are looking to get out of it.
