Pros

Like to retain employees, very smart senior individuals, business is run very well. Information sharing is very high and individuals are given a large amount of responsibility at a junior level.

Cons

Does not promote a healthy work/life balance. Compensation is often lower than market rate given the amount of work and hours expected of the employee.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
