Pros

Good Culture Invests in Professional Development

Cons

Depending on your discipline and group, work-life balance can be difficult to manage with high workload. Although the company will invest in training, gaining of experience in new skill sets can be difficult and specialized tasks such as modeling and design are typically siloed to those who are already experts
