Pros

You'll have access to resources, a lot of responsibility in the short term, and access to upper level management meaning you will sink or swim pretty quickly.

Cons

You will probably receive little to no raise over your time there. The bonus has not paid out over 5 years. The 401k match takes three years to vest, and your LTI will not vest for five years. Coupled with the average life tenure of 2 years,you will always leave money on the table. There is no accountability at the upper management level. Lower tier employees are always blamed for mistakes and failures, even with the direction set by management. The company constantly cuts people, without replacing them. So, don't be surprised that you're doing the work of two or three people (and see two paragraphs up on compensation). The company will attempt to put happy hour after happy hour on to improve morale, but it's all pointless when you're trying to finish your work so you can go home. There are worse places to work, and if you can make it the 5 years, the rewards are worth it. You just have to put up with a lot of pain to get it.

Pros

People with absolutely no experience can make a very high base salary and easily obtain an inflated job title. You will get experience, but it is trial by fire.

Cons

Workload is insane. Management is insane. Hours are insane. Employee turnover is insane. Cramming hundreds of people into a temporary office is insane. There is little to no training, you guessed it, insane. Bonus has not paid out for the past 5 years. Stock option plan is crazy- options don't vest for 5 years from when you get them, think about that. Average employee lifespan is approx 2 years. No one is going to get those options. 401K plan matching vests after 3 years. Anything and everything here is designed to screw everyone who is not a stock owner. The people at the top have so much to gain by lying and getting you to join this place. And then you're screwed because you have a 2 year commitment on your relocation and signing bonus. Beware!!
