Pros

The people that actually do the work are terrific. I enjoyed my team a lot.

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism among senior and executive leadership, to the point that experienced professionals coming in don't stand a chance to either break through and join the "cool kids" club, or even be considered for promotions in a fair manner. I used to think the work I created would be recognized and rewarded, but instead I have a leader who represents my work as his. He is part of the cool club without concern for anyone but himself.
