Pros

Management is always willing to help you move up in the company. They want you to succeed and will do whatever they can to facilitate growth.

Cons

360 reviews are done yearly where your coworkers get to review you performance. This really is just a popularity contest it seems like. The people that like you will give you high remarks and the people that don't like you will give you low remarks. It is never based off your actual job performance.
