Pros

Company believes in hiring the best of the best, managing risk, and limiting waste. Senior Management emphasizes on value of collaboration and team work. If you work for a small team, it should be innovative and fun.

Cons

It grew too fast. Too much friction and competitivity between employees steals them from focusing on the firm goal: May the firm and everyone make money. The environment is now reminiscent of High School: The bullies, the jocks, the chearleaders, the geeks, etc... Arrogance and illusion of being the best (Egomania) are alarmingly high.
