Pros

Everyone is equivalent to a "valedictorian". Colleagues are smart, ambitious, curious, and like to collaborate. Everyone brings their A+ game it's great to work people who know what they're doing.

Cons

You have to find your niche and hunt for projects, if you are proactive this shouldn't be an issue for you.

Pros

High pay, freedom and responsibility.

Cons

Everything else. If you want to work 90 hours a week, have no family life, and still get fired after nothing but glowing reviews, then this place is for you! In my case, I gave direct, actionable feedback about a colleague, and that led to my dismissal. The culture deck says feedback is never used to retaliate - but that's not true at all. So fair warning - if you give someone honest feedback about how to improve in their position, be prepared for that to bite you later on. Politics is real here - people are retained or promoted based on who they know, and people are so routinely fired here, regardless of their performance, that everyone is numb to it. Glad to see my time here coming to an end. If you like playing dirty politics at work, then you've found a good place. If you want psychological safety at work, keep moving.
