Pros

Great learning experience; brilliant people; focused missions and strategies; perfect for the beginning of ones career or at the end of it. Great stepping stone to further ones career.

Cons

No career opportunities; limited positions; too many changes and processes; no real work/life balance at the lower end of the food chain; good stepping stone, but nowhere to go except back to public/private sector.
