Pros

"Base" compensation, but no additional bonus, profit sharing or ownership incentives, workplace setting is somewhat up to date, training programs

Cons

Poor corporate culture, stale/outdated brand, lackluster talent pool, multi layers of ineffective management, absurd amount of policies, procedures, forms that inhibit the nimbleness of the firm, absolutely zero architectural design sense.
