Pros

- This place will be truly excellent for one in ten people who are ranked and rewarded accordingly (not unique to here, but true nonetheless). - Definitely mostly nice, smart & witty people (as we've been vetted not just here, but through all the various work & educational achievements throughout our lives). - Corporate America at it's best

Cons

- Most SLC work is at best boring, at worst suicidal. - People are lying about how much they work. Think 50-60 hrs, not 80-100 hrs. You're not that important and are discentivized anyways from working that long (1/2 overtime anyone?). - Corporate America at it's worst
