Pros

Great brand, good reputation Good for experience Professional Good for the community Most people want to help others Can make good contacts

Cons

They "package" everything rather than truly trying to make a difference. Management does not trust employees. Favoritism too - if you're favored, there is no accountability even if you're in management.
