Pros

Great location, great pay, beautiful office, excellent tools.

Cons

It's stunning how an organization as successful and notable still relies upon managment tactics of the 1960s. Employees are treated punitively, communications are top down. Collaboration is only successful within if one is fortunate to be in with the in crowd.
