Pros

Work with smart people Industry leading company with huge influence

Cons

Compensation growth is terrible. Company purposely pays at least 30-40% below market norm Lots of unnecessary red tape to get anything done Promotions and career elevation are not merit based. Career growth is awarded with emphasis on knowing and aligning with the right senior leaders.

Pros

There is a lot of "talk" about AAs and EAs being important, but a lot depends on who your manager is, as inconsistency on job duties and responsibilities vary widely.

Cons

The struggle is real for growth, and they'll wear you down for promotions - too much is tied to who you support, rather than what you personally bring to the table.
