Pros

Great benefits, nice bonus structure and is a prestigious company on a resume

Cons

The hours are extreme, work life balance is mostly non-existent, micromanaged and they don't always live up to their own values. There is a one way path up the ladder and they do say you have options to jump to other teams, but it is rare.

Great people, strong values, but stuck in the past

Pros

Working with some of the most highly ethical, motivated, intelligent people I have ever met is a huge plus. The company has good values and really commits to doing the right thing for the world.

Cons

Processes are outdated and the growth structure is stuck in the past (particularly for non-consulting roles). Teams will hire someone externally with little-to-no knowledge of their background or experience, but when it comes to promoting people who already know the job there are too many restrictions. Basically instead of promote, they'll just give you more work to do to "prove you're ready" so they get the work done, but at a fraction of the cost.
