Pros
They somehow find and manage to hire really great staff
Cons
Approaching your HR Representative is an exercise in futility. They answer to the same incompetent upper management. Do not believe for an instance that HR will be able to make any difference whatsoever. You can be a shining star one day and the next be shown the door. Your only security is to have your next opportunity in your back pocket. As long as you continue to show you are ready to leave, they will bend over backwards to keep you. The minute you show any sort of loyalty and desire to stay, you are toast. Don't assume team work, initiative, diligence, or participation in their "community outreach (to 'give back')" will mean anything AT ALL to management, it does not. Also their "Strategic Intents" are great talking points during the hiring process and probably attractive during job fairs, but otherwise those are absolutely meaningless, especially the "destination employer" intent.
